Meeting Notes 3/15/2007, 3-4pm EDT

Jeff, Gerald, Uppili, Robin

 

1. Identity Landscape Presentation

The presentation was presented at Liberty TEG, where some changes have been suggested. These have been incorporated into the presentation and will likely also go into the paper. This presentation should also be taken to OSIS, Liberty PPEG, BMEG and other forums.

AI: Robin and Gerald to coordinate Liberty PPEG and BMEG presentation AI: Uppili and Jeff will assist Gerald with the presentation at OSIS AI: Uppili will give try to give feedback before next OSIS call

Robin mentions another Identity paper by John Madlin and Luke Razell that covers some aspects of our paper. The paper is here. We should at least include this as a reference.

 

2. Proposed Timeline/Milestones

Jeff thinks that this seems aggressive, but doable. Robin asks what we could have ready by Brussels Liberty meeting (4/24/07)? There should be a reasonable draft, including a standalone presentation and introduction. This would add a milestone for 4/20. Jeff is quite interested in having some presentable material by then also.

 

3. Promoting the Paper

The following venues/people should be contacted regarding participation/coordination

 

4. AOB

Jeff notes that the younger generation has very different identity needs: there is much less need for privacy and fear of identity 'theft', since many have a multitude of digital identities and change them frequently. For different groups, there are also other cultural aspects beyond the generation gap.

Robin: we have to cater to the fact that folks are using different digital personas/identities. E.g. young people do change their identities quite frequently, while many of us use multiple identities as well, e.g. work/private, blog commenting etc. Also, multiple personas can be a quite effective privacy protection mechanism (single use identity, credit card, etc.)

 

The next meeting is on 3/29/07 at 3pm ET.
