Re: [projectvrm] NSTIC circling around

[Joe Andrieu < >]

Hey all.

 

I just wanted to back up Kaliya's suggestion and encourage you all to plug into the NSTIC and IDESG process. Not only is NSTIC where the US government is investing to create a better identity architecture, the IDESG is the *open* process (and organization) by which the new ecosystem will find its way forward.

 

They've had 3 plenaries so far. I've participated remotely in two of them. While it can be a chore to stay on top of it all, it's clear that the mechanisms for participatory, collaborative decision making are being engaged with honest intention.  It will be slow and bureaucratic and a pain, but it is absolutely the best avenue for all of us here to push for VRMy and user-driven solutions to this thing called "identity".

 

Please, sign up and do what you can to participate. It's free and it has the potential to do a world of good.

HI VRMers...

 

 This summer I asked you to consider joining the NSTIC plenary and to vote for me in the Management Council elections. (See accomplishments below) 

 

I'm changing my category to Small Business & Entrepreneurs (#11) specifically to represent and talk more about VRM / Personal Data Business models and perspectives of businesses. 

 

If you did join you MUST sign the new agreement by Feb 14th to VOTE in spring elections. See here: http://www.idecosystem.org/page/new-member-application-form

 

If you didn't join I encourage you to do so.  

 

If you want to vote for me you also need to change your category to #11 where I will be running as the delegate for small businesses & entrepreneurs. 

 

 

Key things:

 

* If you are based outside the US or a non-US citizen you CAN also join. 

 

* Join as a Participating member in category 11 - either as your organization or your company (then you can vote for me

 

* See my site updates (new video)  I'm running for Mayor*  (Management Council) - http://www.kaliyaformayor.org

 

* Consider coming in person to the Plenary in the Bay Area May 9-10 - its the same week as IIW. 

 

* You can make a difference if big companies push stuff through after consensus isn't reached we need to have enough people in the plenary who can vote against such moves. 

 

* Economic models are critical in the current conversation. Business models within the personal data ecosystem have relevance. 

 

* Personal Clouds/Data Stores and services around them solve the hard use-cases.

 

* Accomplishments so far: 

 

* As was to be expected most of the attention over the fall was consumed in governance issues. 

 

* We are finally getting to real work and I am on the Work Plan and Business Plan committees of the Management Council (formed last week). 

 

* I lead the Holistic Pictures subcommittee of the management council that collected great images of aspects of what we are working on.

* I have given advice (that has been implemented) to more senior leadership of the IDESG about approaches to soliciting input and effectively leveraging the in person 100-200 person meetings in a way that gets results. 

 

Don't hesitated to contact me if you have more questions about this or how to be effectively involved if you have limited time. 

 

- Kaliya
