Deb:
Thanks
for the good news. I am sure the OpenID Foundation will be well represented
at your town hall in December. I look forward to our panel and your presentation
on OpenID pilots at the NIST and NIH events next week.
OpenID
has a growing international presence. The OpenID Foundation Board
strategy for 2009 / 2010 identified international outreach as a key priority
and funded an outreach program to support adoption worldwide. The acting Vice
Chairman of the Foundation’s Board is Mr. Nat Sakimura, a leader in
innovative multi LOA applications development in Japan and a recognized authority
on OpenID and other identity protocols worldwide. As you know the foundation
has contracted with Mr. John Bradley, a Canadian citizen, to provide training
and technical assistance to US Government agencies and other interested
governments; including the UK and EU.
These
gentlemen and others (copied above) may share their expertise regarding your question
re: …”what is the recommended way to ‘create an
identity’ for individuals from foreign countries who may only loosely be affiliated
with an agency? ...” I am sure you will get a robust response.
Thanks
again for your leadership and support of open identity for open government.

Hal (and Don)
Looks like the Town Hall will happen after
all – meeting after NIST events to formalize an agenda ... I
am certain that we will want to hear about your efforts.
On that note .... This afternoon
upper management sent out an IT briefing paper that explains what OpenID is
and the potential benefits to NIH. We are seeing a surge of
interest .... concerned we may need to start a wait list !
I’ve just received the following
inquiry ... and was wondering if your efforts may assist with this ...
“..- Does the OpenID effort include international
agencies? And what is the recommended way to ‘create an
identity’ for individuals from foreign countries who may only loosely
affiliated with a agency? ...”
Thanks
in advance

To keep the momentum going
within NIH - we are tentatively planning a Town Hall for NIH’s
benefit – but intend to invite agencies with like affinities (Education,
NSF, VA come to mind)
Seating Approx 200 -
split tiered room that can break into separate sessions
Two sessions – government
focus in the am – industry focus in afternoon
General session coupled with
breakout (Tech vs level C types) each session.
If you have the time - it would
be great if you and/or someone from the OpenID Society would participate.
John Bradley has tentatively scheduled to be here ...
Let me know if you are
interested ...
