[OpenID] EU regulators call for tighter privacy provisions onOpenID, Facebook (U)

[Dickover, Noel, CTR, NII/DoD-CIO]

For what its worth, I'll be going to PrivacyCampDC this Saturday, and
have already engaged with a number of folks at the Center for Democracy
& Technology (CDT) and the Center for American Progress (CAP). The list
of attendees is here:

I wrote a blog post on my thoughts for Privacy as it affects Open
Government initiatives, and how OpenID could potentially help in the
future.  They liked it enough that they asked to repost it on the
PrivacyDC blog.  The link is here if anyone wants to give me some
thoughts on it:

ivacycampdc/

But really, the thing that sells for the privacy folks is providing a
number of privacy options for them to choose from.  The more options the
better in fact.  If citizens are boxed in to a single approach, the
privacy folks will be bugged about it, but if we can offer a variety of
options (I list some in the post above - not sure they are all doable
right now, but really it was intended to be a conversation starter),
they will most likely be very pleased.

I was planning on having a Gov2.0 session that centered around
developing potential technology options to enable Level 1 authentication
for participation & collaboration that protects privacy.  Realistically,
OpenID should be seen as a tool that enables privacy, not something to
be squashed. If you have some other topics you want me to engage in with
these folks, let me know.

Here's the other article cited:

I think that we need to reach out to privacy groups like the EFF and
others, directly, and start a dialog. I suppose that's easier said than
done given everything going on, but it does seem worthwhile to establish
a relationship sooner than later.
