Here are some suggested changes,
I will also go look to see how I can tie this to Google doc and see how we
move forward from version 9

I asked my Solution architect to review working Draft 9 and provide feedback
from the perspective of a CTO working in the Digital trust domain. Here is
his feedback:
Good morning, I did a first reading of the Kantara Initiative - Digital
Identifier Inclusion document. Maybe I need to read it again for more
detailed feedback but my impression of this document, and if I where like a
CTO of a company working in that field is the following;
* It does outline the problem and need for more inclusion quite well,
however it feels like they want to cover everything and everyone in this
report. Which makes it hard to get make sense of where to start, necessary
steps or even get an overview of what to consider.
* Some examples are much narrower in scope, and feel like, yes that is
something we can solve/support but others felt like not a technology problem
but a institutional or society issue
* Since we are working on digital credentials technology my view will
be biased, but the report seems to hint at (decentralized) identifiers as
the solution, without making a clear case for this problem->solution. The
argument is thin and spread throughout the report (and possible linked
reports).
I might have missed the point of this report in my first review, but found
it pretty difficult to both summarize or formulate specific action points
based on what I read. But I will try to make some suggestions based on what
I read (and some quick reading of the UNDP document (what does it mean to
leave no one behind?).
* Use an existing framework (or create one) to clarify, categorize,
and indicate key factors (e.g. the five intersecting factors of being left
behind, but then focused on underserved populations)
* Define (sub)goals and actions (like digital literacy, privacy and
security, growth, accessibility)
* Identify key elements to reduce the digital divide and increase
inclusion (related to previous factors, and goals)
* Discuss how to understand who is excluded, how to include and enable
them and how to contribute and unify these innovations to a wider public
(i.e. a process)
* Provide a scorecard or roadmap (for C-level?) like a navigation tool
and to grasp what areas need improvements and what areas and levels of
inclusion one could consider (you can't solve everything at once, but what
is basic, what is intermediate and advanced)
* (also some sentences seem to just describe the properties of a
digital wallet. which i might it make the paper incoherent/cloudy on what is
being discussed and proposed - imho what a digital wallet should be and do
is a different topic and should mostly be left out?)

Good evening to all!
After our last WG meeting, having discussed feedback from the Leadership
Council, Sal and I reviewed the forward page of the Digital Identifier
Inclusion document and specifically the Abstract section. We tagged teamed,
with me taking the first step in putting pen to paper and then exchanged
content; Sal was spot on in keeping the theme simple and to the point. Now
it is your turn to contribute to the final Abstract content with the goal
being that we will have a majority WG acceptance of the DII document. A
short time ago, Sal requested some time to share some other minor changes
for consideration. Yes that is acceptable and will also include others on
the call, keeping in mind such recommendations are minor; not content change
-this document has been review by the Leadership Council
Abstract:
This document is based on the principle that all humans with rights or
privileges should have access to digital identifiers and the means to use
those rights and privileges. This must be required in our increasingly
connected world to support the underserved. Examples of harm and
inefficiencies from the exclusion to digital resources are briefly
described, along with solutions, in the pages that follow.
This report presents requirements for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI),
with digital identifier inclusion by default in design, deployment, use and
maintenance over its lifecycle..
Have a restful evening, JIm
