Here is how I put forward the idea to a friend…
Me: Hey, so you know about Passover?
A: Yes, there is a meal… and its a jewish holiday
Me: Yes, its a religious service over a meal to retell the story of the jews escaping from Slavery in egypt 1000’s of years ago.
It is a celebration of Freedom.
We are uptdating it for the contemporary struggle to free our data.
We want to raise consciousness about current data practices through a modern version of the Seder Meal
Join us on our mailing list (and soon on the wiki)
I am also going to be seeking input from leaders of multiple faiths about what their tradition has to say about identity and data rights in the digital age. Feel free to contact me if you know a faith leader we might approach for such a statement.
There will be a physical seder in Oakland – but we are hoping the service we develop can happen all over.

What could Kill NSTIC? PDEC White Paper Released
My colleague at the Personal Data Ecosystem Consortium, Phil Wolff, hosted sessions at the last two IIW‘s that invited community consideration of the risks to NSTIC. He has put together a paper that outlines the results of these two sessions that were titled “Death to NSTIC” the white paper is “What Could Kill NSTIC: A Friendly Threat Assessment”. He has a video about it and you can download it from our website.
It also has a Bonus Section I wrote that:
- Explains some of the background of NSTIC
- Articulates the 6 main parts of NSTIC and what they do
- Explains the relevance of NSTIC to the companies in the Personal Data Ecosystem Consortium.

I'm running for Mayor* again!
I’m planning on running for Mayor * again (a position on the NSTIC Steering Group Management Council) – this time for a different “municipality” (delegate representative).
