Dear Kantara Community,
As you may be aware Kantara has participated in the last 2 SXSW Interactive
events. In our first entry UMA took the center stage sharing with ISOC,
and Tor. Last year our IDoT session strong generated excitement and
interest.
This year we hope to make the cut again with our session focused on digital
consent. We've submitted a panel including: Mark Lizar, Robin Wilton and
Ian Glazer. If we are selected we'll discuss issues around consent in the
context of identity relationship management and UMA.
Submission selection is very competitive. To get there we'll need your
vote! Please take a moment to vote for our session. You'll be asked to
create an account and we're sorry about that. This is a rule set by SXSW.
We hope that SXSW might federate identity in the future!

Summary: Clicking “Agree” for consent on-line is outdated. In the real
world, asking for consent is unusual. I don't ask a barista for consent to
get coffee. A barista doesn't ask me for consent to serve me. Social norms
enable the barista and I to feel "OK" for specific exchanges. The on-line
world is different. People are constantly asked for consent which
effectively trains them to click "Agree". Policy makers are starting to
codify for consent as if consent is an assumed optimal solution. We can
build trust in the Internet and reduce friction by upgrading “Agree”
buttons to provide people with a record of what personal information they
have shared, but that's only the beginning of our story.
