[OpenID] TransparencyCamp and OpenID (U)

[Peter Williams]

I'm about to have my call with these folks about co-hosting such a kick-off event (in Washington DC).  What is this community's gut feel for timing?  Is there an urgency here that would drive us to do this soon... like early April.  Or do folks need more time to arrange travel, etc.?

Before or after RSA (April 20th)?

Before or after IIW (May 18)?

Knowing this will provide a clear gap analysis of what we have vs. what we need. We can base our deliberations on these hard facts.  I can only believe this will be more productive than... actually I don't see any alternative to this approach if we are serious about making progress.

Next Steps?

...I would be happy to talk with them about co-hosting a kick-off event to drill into this issue as it relates to OpenID specifically.   I assume they will be interested.  They, like I, would like to see citizens be able to use whatever private sector credentials they "already have" to access government applications.  If those are OpenID's, then lets make sure those OpenID's are going to be acceptable to these federal Relying Parties (who knows, we might learn something that helps us win more RP adoption in other markets as well).

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me! It would also be good to get in sync with a number of the existing OpenID-in-government conversations underway.

We're not the first to bring this up or to consider the issues that exist for government to adopt OpenID; but, of course we have a great deal to add to that discussion and taking the approach as you described it sounds prudent.
