Privacy Event I'm Going To Miss

By Professor University of Miami School of Law

I’m sorry to miss this Privacy Workshop, but I have jury duty next Monday:

The General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy is hosting a one-day workshop on August 10, 2009 to discuss the Government’s approach to permitting access to Government web-based applications evaluated at Assurance Level 1 (as defined in M-04-04, E-Authentication Guidance for Federal Agencies) using credentials issued by third-parties and based on technologies from the OpenID Foundation, the Info Card Foundation, and InCommon Federation. Briefings will include the Trust Framework Provider Approval Process, the Scheme Adoption Process, Federal profiles, and how privacy considerations are being addressed. Presenters will include the government and industry representatives. The day will end with an open question and answer period in which we solicit your feedback and a discussion of your concerns.

Date: Monday, August 10, 2009

Time: 9:00am to 3:30pm (registration & checkin begins at 8:00am)

Location: American Institute of Architects Board Room 1735 New York Avenue, NW Washington, DC

Please visit our website www.idmanagement.gov for more information, including the day’s agenda and read aheads, and to register for the event.

Written questions are welcome at any time before the meeting, please submit to brant.petrick@gsa.gov.

There is no cost to attend but pre-registration is requested due to limited seating and will be honored on a first come, first served basis.

You can delay jury duty in Miami — but I already did that as I was originally required to appear the day before I left for my vacation, and I thought I ought to help with the packing. Now I’ve reached the end of the string.

If anyone reading this goes, please send notes…
