As part of my efforts to determine whether there's any external interest
in the Consumer Identity WG's project plan, I recently spoke with Tom
Lockwood, who is one of the drivers of the government's National
Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, and Graham Whitehead of
NASPO. You may have seen the email and attached Call for Participation
from ANSI IDSP (below), announcing that NASPO is commencing development
of an American National Standard for Identity Verification.
The need for a standardized identity verification/proofing process is
well known, and Tom mentioned that several people associated with
Kantara (Brett, when he was ED, and Frank V. on behalf of IAWG)
expressed to him that Kantara supports such an effort. Others as well,
in particular members of the financial services community, have also
expressed interest.
However, the reality is that NASPO will not be able to pursue this work
unless it can secure adequate funding, and also recruit enough "warm
bodies" to actually participate in the effort. Since there was some
expression of interest and support by Kantara participants/members, I
volunteered to find out whether this might translate into financial
support, and whether anyone representing Kantara might want to
participate in the actual development of the identity verification standard.
The attached Call for Participation describes the various levels of
financial support that is being requested. I'd like to propose that the
question of whether Kantara can provide financial support for the
development of an identity verification standard by NASPO be submitted
to the Board of Trustees for their consideration.
Although I'm specifically addressing possible financial support by
Kantara, NASPO would certainly be grateful for a commitment of financial
support and participation by any other organization as well, including
individual Kantara member organizations.
As noted below, an initial meeting of those making a commitment to this
effort is planned for July 12-13 in Kansas City. So if there is any
possibility that Kantara might be able to contribute to this effort, the
BoT should probably take up this matter fairly soon.
