[WG-P3] Fw: [Kantara - Community] Kantara Invite to Participate: NSTIC, Governance Recommendations, and FFO

[Colin Soutar]

Hi - 

Joni posted this notice last week on the LC and Community listserves, in 
regards to the current NSTIC FFO.   In light of this guidance, I'd suggest 
that any further discussion on NSTIC be directed to the NSTIC DG to focus 
those efforts.

In terms of the Privacy Assessment Criteria, as per the minutes of the ad 
hoc meeting last week (
http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/p3wg/P3WG+Meeting+Notes+2012-02-16
), we will be reviewing the structure and scope of the document on this 
week's P3WG call...   Agenda to follow...

Cheers,

Colin

NSTIC,  Governance Recommendations, and FFO

Hello,

As you are likely aware, the NSTIC team has moved forward with NSTIC 
Governance Recommendations [1].  If you have not done so already, 
community members should take time to familiarize themselves with the 
contents of the response.  Note that the contents of the response were 
directly influenced by input from a broad spectrum of Identity Ecosystem 
stakeholders - which includes the direct responses from Kantara Initiative 
stakeholders.  Kantara Members and Participants should take pride in the 
contributions that have been made to date and moving forward to the NSTIC 
progress. 

Additionally, the NSTIC team has release a Federal Funding Opportunity 
(FFO) [2] which captures guidelines and details for stakeholders to submit 
proposals to request Federal funding of pilot programs and activities 
which support the fostering of an Identity Ecosystem as identified in the 
National Strategy.  The FFO states that proposals, paper and electronic, 
must be delivered by not later than 17:00 EST on Wednesday March 7th. 

While Kantara Initiative will not submit direct proposals for pilots 
facing NSTIC pilot funding, Kantara will play the role in connecting our 
Members and partners who plan to submit proposals for this FFO.  I am 
aware that some Kantara WGs/DGs have already started discussing proposal 
opportunities which they might submit.  My suggestion is that Kantara 
revive our NSTIC DG as a central point for interested stakeholders to 
gather and manage their discussions for pilots.  

Next Steps:
1. DO - Share thoughts regarding pilot proposals as you find appropriate 
via this community list with your peers
2. DO - Sign up for the NSTIC DG [3]
3. DO - Share your input via the NSTIC DG and network with your peers
4. DON'T - share information which you or your organization wish to be 
confidential in nature. (in this case network directly with your peers - 
Kantara staff will assist you to make contacts as appropriate.)

The NSTIC DG: 
- serves as a coordination point for these activities - to assist 
individuals and organizations to connect to better their respective 
proposals.  
- may develop recommendations for organizational activities of Kantara 
which address the developing NSTIC activities and progress.

FFO IMPORTANT Dates: Abbreviated proposals, paper and electronic, must be 
received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. 
Abbreviated proposals received after this deadline will not be reviewed or 
considered. Review of abbreviated proposals and selection of finalists is 
expected to be completed by Thursday, March 22, 2012. Full proposals, 
paper and electronic, must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern 
Time on Monday, April 23, 2012. Full proposals received after this 
deadline will not be reviewed or considered. Review of full proposals, 
selection of successful proposers, and award processing is expected to be 
completed in July 2012. The earliest anticipated start date for awards 
under this FFO is expected to be September 1, 2012.

As always, my door is open for direct comments or questions stakeholders 
may have.  You may contact me directly and/or use the community/nstic-dg 
lists to have broader discussions.

Thank you Kantara community for your efforts and input regarding NSTIC to 
date and thank you for your continued support regarding the development of 
NSTIC toward the fostering of a voluntary, privacy-respecting Identity 
Ecosystem for ALL!

Note: I've cross posted this message to a few lists.  If you are not a 
member of each of those lists you will see bounce messages IF you reply to 
all.  FYI - the community list is 'open' to all respondents.  If you are 
unsure just respond to community at .  thx!
