So it’s NSTIC election time!
I’m running for the Consumer (And Citizen) Advocacy delegate position on the Management Council of the Steering Committee for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace!  Learn how to vote for me and get involved at KaliyaForMayor.org and see my campaign video.

I, like many in the identity community, have been paying attention to and tracking this since the first draft of the proposal two summers ago.
They wrote a draft we gave input. They announced they would be launching a strategy in Silicon Valley then they launched the Strategy.
They wrote a Strategy and then hosted a Governance  and Privacy technical “workshop”.   Both were poorly designed and kinda ineffective but non-the-less well intentioned. 
They asked us how it should be governed with a “Notice of Inquiry” about that last summer (I submitted my ideas    others did too).
The technical meeting about NSTIC was woven in with IIW #13 last fall.
They had a briefing about the Grants for pilot projects (I attended via webinar).
They ( the NSTIC National Program Office) put forward a charter and by-laws. They have an Identity Ecosystem Steering Group webinar.
