Intended audience
- GA + C-level
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
- our "expert snapshot assessment" including proposed actions
- good examples
Storyline
- 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"
- "transition" risks: our mid-2024 snapshot risk map
- risks associated with non-acting ("non-transitioning"): including the "political agenda"
- 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:
