Hello everyone,
I am out of the office this week on a short family holiday. I received this
reminder from Gail Hodges asking for our comments on the white paper we did
jointly with OIDF and that we hired Heather Flanagan to write.
This is the next update to that paper if you can find some time to review
and provide comments. Thank you so much.
I did send this out to the Leadership Council in early July. This may now
include some of the comments they have gotten so far.
I just wanted to inform you that the response deadline is August 15. I
appreciate your help.
Warm regards,
Kay

Hi Kay, John, Andrew
I just wanted to send you a personal note on the off chance you have not
heard or need a reminder on the deadline for this whitepaper. We warmly
welcome Kantara’s comments, and of course consideration of co-branding the
final paper in due course.
*“Human-Centric Digital Identity: A Primer for Government
Officials” comments due by August 15th using the form enclosed in link
below: *
https://openid.net/open-for-comment-human-centric-identity-a-primer-for-gove...
This paper builds on the OECD Digital Identity recommendations (published
as final July 2023) to provide practical and timely information to assist
government officials that are responsible for enabling digital identity
credential systems, globally. The paper includes 8+ months of diligence
with expert organizations and individuals, as well as public consultations
in 4 conferences. If we succeed, the recommendations from this paper will
trigger a practical roadmap for global digital identity infrastructure
development…a roadmap we will expand upon during an interoperability
workshop in Paris the last week of November with numerous other
non-profits. We see one of the key challenges to be bridging the “global
north” and “global south” and engagement with key players like Kantara as
vital to this outcome.
A final version of this paper will be published prior to the OECD panel on
Digital Identity (second half September), where the Digital Identity
Recommendations will be formally announced at an OECD panel. The
recommendations in this paper will be shared by Nat Sakimua, Chairman of
the OpenID Foundation, as appropriate, during the OECD panel.
We are keen to ensure the paper represents the current views of the global
identity community, including Kantara’s perspective. If the paper aligns to
Kantara’s perspective, we warmly encourage co-branding of the final version
of this paper, prior to publication September.
Many thanks for your consideration!
Gail Hodges
Executive Director
