Teleconference 2008/10/30 1PM ET/ 10AM PT
Doc will be working towards a draft "Declaration of Independence"-style document defining what is VRM for that teleconference.
12-18 month process. Teleconferences every two weeks. A face to face as well. Hopefully in Feb/March of 2009.
We want the VRM braintrust involved. Also the Identity Assurance braintrust, who have deep knowledge in compliance.
Goal is to build a case that there is a market and need here. Then build a normative standard. Then getting funding to operationalize a program.
Iain already has a bunch of work to kickstart the effort.
VRM.ORG
Renee Lloyd is taking the lead, working with Doc to make this happen.
Website update
Its getting fixed. We were attacked; so we are cleaning that up. We will have much of what everyone has been asking for. By the time of our next call, it should be up and running.
Doc clarifies that the web guys need to work with Sebastian to make it completely compatible with Berkman's operations. Which means porting to Drupal.
