Kantara Invite to Participate: NSTIC, Governance Recommendations, and FFO
by Joni Brennan 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hello, As you are likely aware, the NSTIC team has moved forward with NSTIC Governance Recommendations [1]. If you have not done so already, community members should take time to familiarize themselves with the contents of the response. Note that the contents of the response were directly influenced by input from a broad spectrum of Identity Ecosystem stakeholders - which includes the direct responses from Kantara Initiative stakeholders. Kantara Members and Participants should take pride in the contributions that have been made to date and moving forward to the NSTIC progress. Additionally, the NSTIC team has release a Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) [2] which captures guidelines and details for stakeholders to submit proposals to request Federal funding of pilot programs and activities which support the fostering of an Identity Ecosystem as identified in the National Strategy. The FFO states that proposals, paper and electronic, must be delivered by not later than 17:00 EST on Wednesday March 7th. While Kantara Initiative will not submit direct proposals for pilots facing NSTIC pilot funding, Kantara will play the role in connecting our Members and partners who plan to submit proposals for this FFO. I am aware that some Kantara WGs/DGs have already started discussing proposal opportunities which they might submit. My suggestion is that Kantara revive our NSTIC DG as a central point for interested stakeholders to gather and manage their discussions for pilots. *Next Steps:* 1. DO - Share thoughts regarding pilot proposals as you find appropriate via this community list with your peers 2. DO - Sign up for the NSTIC DG [3] 3. DO - Share your input via the NSTIC DG and network with your peers 4. DON'T - share information which you or your organization wish to be confidential in nature. (in this case network directly with your peers - Kantara staff will assist you to make contacts as appropriate.) * The NSTIC DG: * - serves as a coordination point for these activities - to assist individuals and organizations to connect to better their respective proposals. - may develop recommendations for organizational activities of Kantara which address the developing NSTIC activities and progress. *FFO IMPORTANT Dates: *Abbreviated proposals, paper and electronic, must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Abbreviated proposals received after this deadline will not be reviewed or considered. Review of abbreviated proposals and selection of finalists is expected to be completed by Thursday, March 22, 2012. Full proposals, paper and electronic, must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, April 23, 2012. Full proposals received after this deadline will not be reviewed or considered. Review of full proposals, selection of successful proposers, and award processing is expected to be completed in July 2012. The earliest anticipated start date for awards under this FFO is expected to be September 1, 2012.

You may contact me directly and/or use the community/nstic-dg lists to have broader discussions. Thank you Kantara community for your efforts and input regarding NSTIC to date and thank you for your continued support regarding the development of NSTIC toward the fostering of a voluntary, privacy-respecting Identity Ecosystem for ALL! *Note: *I've cross posted this message to a few lists. If you are not a member of each of those lists you will see bounce messages IF you reply to all. FYI - the community list is 'open' to all respondents.

NSTIC Update: Moving forward with pilots, the Steering Group and other events
by Joni Brennan 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Hello, Please see the below update regarding the progress of NSTIC, Steering Committee Recommendation and Proposers Day for NSTIC Pilot Funding. Should you have questions or comments please feel free to contact me or your WG/DG chair. Should you wish to share momentum or potential pilot ideas which are aligned and/or may benefit from support of Kantara activities please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Joni ------- Subject: NSTIC Update: Moving forward with pilots, the Steering Group and other events From: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Date: Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 4:41 PM Subject: NSTIC Update: Moving forward with pilots, the Steering Group and other events… Dear NSTIC Stakeholders, After several months of planning, I am pleased to announce that the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is moving forward on a number of fronts. The next two months will be marked by several major events and initiatives designed to further the implementation of NSTIC’s vision for an Identity Ecosystem! *Pilot Programs:* Today NIST released a new Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) for pilot programs to support the NSTIC. The FFO can be found at http://www.nist.gov/nstic/2012-nstic-ffo-01.pdf<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIw…> and www.grants.gov<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIw…> . This $10 million pilot program FFO marks a key step towards implementing the Strategy and establishing the Identity Ecosystem. As with all NSTIC activities, the success of these pilot programs will rely heavily on your participation, innovations, and efforts. The goal of this new grant program is to test or demonstrate new solutions, models or frameworks that do not exist in the marketplace today, and that will advance the NSTIC vision: that individuals and organizations utilize secure, efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable identity credentials to access online services in a manner that promotes confidence, privacy, choice, and innovation. Specifically, the NSTIC National Program Office is interested in funding pilot projects with innovative approaches to address some or all of the barriers that have hindered past federated identity efforts, and do so in a way that aligns with and advances the NSTIC’s four guiding principles – that identity solutions will be privacy-enhancing and voluntary, secure and resilient, interoperable, and cost-effective and easy-to-use. These pilots can thus provide a foundation upon which the Identity Ecosystem can be constructed. There are many ways to get involved with the NSTIC Pilot programs: - Read and review the Federal Funding Opportunity available at http://www.nist.gov/nstic/2012-nstic-ffo-01.pdf<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIw…>, then spread the word to friends, colleagues, and co-workers. - Participate in our *Proposer’s Day* which will be hosted on February 15, at the Department of Commerce Auditorium from 9:00am-12:00pm. This event will give potential applicants the opportunity to learn more about the new pilot program and to meet and interact with other Stakeholders interested in supporting NSTIC pilots. It will also be webcast live at www.nstic.gov<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIw…> for those who can’t attend in person, with questions being accepted via Twitter (at #nstic) to support long distance Q&A. - Collaborate with fellow stakeholders, either through our Proposer’s Day event, or through outside venues, such as workshops, conferences, and online forums. We highly encourage the creation of consortia and teams to develop wide-reaching and effective pilot programs. - Submit project proposals that will help to build the Identity Ecosystem and accelerate adoption of the NSTIC. The Identity Ecosystem’s success will be built upon the foundation of private sector innovations, technologies, and standards. Abbreviated proposals are due March 7; a limited number of proposers will be selected from these and invited to submit full proposals. *The NSTIC Steering Group:* In the next two weeks, we also expect to release a set of recommendations for establishing a privately-led Steering Group to lead implementation of the Identity Ecosystem. This long-awaited document will detail the results of responses to a Notice of Inquiry we published last year, and lay out a clear path forward for a governance structure to tackle the difficult standards and policy issues associated with creating the Identity Ecosystem. *Events:* In addition to our NSTIC Pilots Proposer’s Day, we will also be holding events on both the east and west coasts over the next 45 days: - *RSA Conference:* On Wednesday, February 29 from 3-5pm in Room 121 of the Moscone Center in San Francisco, we’ll be holding a NSTIC update featuring White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt and NSTIC National Program Office Manager Jeremy Grant. The event will provide stakeholders with an update on NSTIC implementation activities including the pilots and Steering Group, and offer an opportunity to ask questions. - *IDtrust Workshop:* NIST will host its annual IDtrust workshop March 13-14 at the NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, MD. More information (including registration details) is at http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/nstic_idtrust-2012.cfm<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIw…> For further details on all of our events please visit our website at www.nstic.gov<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIw…> The next few months will be an exciting and busy time for NSTIC, the NPO, and our stakeholders. We appreciate your continued interest and efforts – and look forward to working with you as we continue to implement NSTIC and the Identity Ecosystem!
