[OpenID board] NIH Town Hall Dec 10th

Fri Sep 25 20:32:10 UTC 2009

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

Hi Debbie,

I would be delighted to attend the Town Hall on December 10.  I will be just
back from meetings with the OpenID European Foundation and I can present
updates on our OpenID Community Project and our WeOpenID Server Project if
appropriate.  Please keep me posted on the details as they solidify.

Best Regards,

Hal Warren

Don,

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 ...

Thanks in advance

Deb
