Proposal for RIUP Report on MyTerms and Underserved Populations
by Justin Byrd 16 Jun '26

16 Jun '26

Hi folks, I had hoped to get this out before our last meeting, but I was bogged down with other duties. In the meantime, I’ve had some good discussions with other MyTerms IC members that helped surface a few additional, heavy-hitting questions. I believe some of them may also be interested in contributing, though they are still working through scheduling issues. That said, attached is my proposal for RIUP to develop a report related to MyTerms. Link to Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b4Tu5-hngkhf8Lhb-LcwTbGhtW5TKewRwzfX5ir… I think there is a useful RIUP contribution here: a short report examining MyTerms / IEEE 7012-2025 through the lens of underserved populations. MyTerms has the potential to increase individual agency by allowing people, or their agents, to proffer machine-readable privacy terms. However, that promise depends on whether the system works for people who lack current devices, stable internet access, English fluency, technical literacy, formal identity credentials, or the ability to consent without assistance. I propose that RIUP develop a report identifying inclusion risks, underserved-user scenarios, delegation requirements, fallback mechanisms, and practical recommendations so that MyTerms does not unintentionally become another prerequisite for accessing essential services. This would build directly on RIUP’s work around digital identifier inclusion, Inclusive Purpose Consent Query, Subject Delegation of Authority, plain-language vocabulary, and underserved-user scenarios. I would welcome feedback on the attached proposal and whether the group thinks this is worth taking forward as a RIUP work item.

RIUP WG meets tomorrow June 2, 1 PM EDT
by Jim Kragh 01 Jun '26

Good evening! Our call-in link is: http s://us06web.zoom.us/j/85077197313?pwd=PGdbMovUR6xo8K4MtmtCBRwdjwxls5.1 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85077197313?pwd%3DPG…> Meeting ID: 850 7719 7313 Passcode: 00093 The meeting agenda includes: * Update ref St. Peter: *Prison promising People project -* Training forTransformation. * Current events vs draft IPCQ (Inclusive Purpose Consent Query) VS AI's end of life as a cost effective value for the underserved. * * * *Abstract:* The purpose of the Inclusive Purpose Consent Query is to enable a Verifier to send sufficient information to a smartphone to enable the holder to fully and quickly understand the query. The message may suffice for common, simple queries to acquire all the information a verifier requires. At the very least, it will establish a connection to a user agent (like a digital wallet) that can continue the query process. This document is not intended to be a complete formal specification but should be treated as an explainer for understanding the requirements for a broad range of inclusive use cases. An inclusive query can be handled by all people who are entitled to access a service or other resource. To become inclusive, a query must be able to be processed even when the holder or the subject is: 1. Not able to communicate in the local or preferred language, 2. Aware but not capable of handling the requirements of digital devices, 3. Unable to give informed consent on their own behalf, or 4. In an emergency location where network access is not available. Have a restful evening, Jim
