date, access link, title...Mon 23rd September 14:00 - 15:30 CEST
Registration: https://events.geant.org/event/1714/
Intended audience
- GA + C-levelCTOs
- Federation operators: we want to make the life easy to them, despite eID coming...
Goal
- positioning of "Distributed Identities" in the context of the T&I activities of GÉANT (organisation, project and community alike)
- no technical deep-dive
- focus on things we should be doing next (or continue to do) as a community, but also point out the risk associated by not acting
- convey the message that this is a mid-2024 snapshot in a fast-moving field
Agenda
- intro T7
- our "expert snapshot risk assessment" including proposed actions
- good examples of next steps
Storyline
- context of T7, strategic positioning
- quick run through the history of our community's T&I activities with a focus on
- the foundational use case
- point out the various "transitions" we had to make and the "gamechanger" associated with each step
- point out the stability of the foundational use case of transporting organisational, trusted user-related data to services in need of this information
- enter "distributed identities"
- a brief look into into "what" and "why"
- what is the "gamechanger" in this "transition" - industry-wide, but also specifically for our community
- our "expert snapshot assessment" of the current situation
- (technical) readiness of "distributed identities", also in comparison to the readiness of our (inter-)federation and identity services
- "transition" risks: our mid-2024 snapshot risk map
- risks associated with non-acting ("non-transitioning"): including the "political agenda" (pushing mobility, alliances and eID)
- proposed actions:
- protect our investment: recognise and protect our stable, globally scaled T&I services from rushing into low-readiness services
- monitoring: monitoring the "distributed identity" activities and assess the relevance for our community
- engagement: engage in relevant industry standardisation processes and trialling activities (e.g. DC4EU)
- communicate:
- feature good examples of current engagements:
- DC4EU, Stefan (use case for education)
- OID federation, Davide
- Potential for our community
- GEANT, MyAcademicID, Christos
- Research use cases, Niels

- report to sum up nicely all above to come
