Hello everyone,
I met with the leadership of the Leadership Council today, and they
recommended I forward this email to you. As you probably know, the PEMC and
Kantara partnered with the OpenID Foundation and brought on Heather
Flanagan to write a white paper. That was done and was released at the
beginning of the summer. Heather has now contacted us to see if we would
like to add additional information.
While I am sure John Wunderlich will send this to the full PEMC, you may
also want to offer some suggestions. Please send your suggested edits to me
and copy staff@kantarainitiative.org. The staff will collate all
suggestions and send them to Heather in one Kantara submission.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Please note her deadlines are
relatively short, so be aware if you choose to suggest any edits or make
comments, those will need to be submitted to the staff no later than July
28 in order for us to have time to collate everything.
Thanks for your input. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Kay

Subject: Invitation to update text for the Government-Issued Digital
Credentials and the Privacy Landscape white paper
To: Kantara Initiative
Cc: Gail Hodges
Hello all, I hope you are having an excellent summer!
As you may be aware, the ‘*Government-Issued Digital Credentials and the
Privacy Landscape’* paper was received quite well at EIC, ID4Africa, and
Identiverse. It is being featured in blog posts, a podcast, and direct
feedback has been excellent. With all that buzz comes an opportunity for us
to do a short, focused update on the paper to capture some of the feedback
received.
As signatories on the paper, we would like to invite Kantara to join this
effort to create a v1.1 of the paper. If your organizations have specific
content that you think would enhance the paper, now is a good time to
submit it for inclusion.
This is not a full revision of the document; we are not trying to change
the recommendations or add additional countries at this time. That more
extensive work will come when we are ready to pull together a v2.0 of the
paper, possibly in 2024.
We will be accepting material from your organizations from now through 31
July 2023. After that, I will make sure the material is properly
incorporated into the document and the proposed final v.1.1 for your
approval (approvals will be due by 22 August 2023). The goal is to have the
updated paper published by 24 August 2023.
I am including an MS Word document of the v1.0 of the paper. I am happy to
accept proposed text via tracked changes in this document, and I will pull
together a consolidated tracked change document of all changes prior to
publication. If you have any questions, or if you do not feel that you have
material to add at this time, please let me know!
