Hi Kick, <br>
<br>
I am doing two projects with Japanese Government right now. One is to
facilitate Public Sector - Private Sector cross sector identity usage,
and the other is a cross telco initiative. Both of them are OpenID
related. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I cannot travel in March because both project and
another one is closing in March, but I might be able to provide some
information if I can get the permission from the government. <br>
<br>
Would you be interested? <br>
<br>

typically attracts 150 attendees from business, public sector and

In
2009 participating organisations came from 17 countries, including 30%
from

Motorola, Total,
KPMG, Siemens, Visa International, European Commission, Euroclear Bank

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I think it is a good
opportunity to discuss
the way how OpenID is able to contribute to the current e-id situation
in
different member states. Looking at the weaknesses of current e-ID
schemes (no
use in business environments because limitations of personal public
service
numbers, poor application support, security levels in no proportion to
business
transactions, no daily use, attribute sharing, no multi channel support
(Mobile, CyberCafé etc..) it is worthwhile to have an open discussion
how OpenID
could( or not) bridge this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
