Hi -
Joni posted this notice last week on
the LC and Community listserves, in regards to the current NSTIC FFO.
In light of this guidance, I'd suggest that any further discussion on NSTIC
be directed to the NSTIC DG to focus those efforts.
As you are likely aware, the NSTIC team has moved forward with NSTIC Governance
Recommendations [1]. If you have not done so already, community members
should take time to familiarize themselves with the contents of the response.
Note that the contents of the response were directly influenced by input
from a broad spectrum of Identity Ecosystem stakeholders - which includes
the direct responses from Kantara Initiative stakeholders. Kantara
Members and Participants should take pride in the contributions that have
been made to date and moving forward to the NSTIC progress.
Additionally, the NSTIC team has release a Federal Funding Opportunity
(FFO) [2] which captures guidelines and details for stakeholders to submit
proposals to request Federal funding of pilot programs and activities which
support the fostering of an Identity Ecosystem as identified in the National
Strategy. The FFO states that proposals, paper and electronic, must
be delivered by not later than 17:00 EST on Wednesday March 7th.
While Kantara Initiative will not submit direct proposals for pilots facing
NSTIC pilot funding, Kantara will play the role in connecting our Members
and partners who plan to submit proposals for this FFO. I am aware
that some Kantara WGs/DGs have already started discussing proposal opportunities
which they might submit. My suggestion is that Kantara revive our
NSTIC DG as a central point for interested stakeholders to gather and manage
their discussions for pilots.
Next Steps:
1. DO - Share thoughts regarding pilot proposals as you find appropriate
via this community list with your peers
2. DO - Sign up for the NSTIC DG [3]
3. DO - Share your input via the NSTIC DG and network with your peers
4. DON'T - share information which you or your organization wish to be
confidential in nature. (in this case network directly with your peers
- Kantara staff will assist you to make contacts as appropriate.)
The NSTIC DG:
- serves as a coordination point for these activities - to assist individuals
and organizations to connect to better their respective proposals.
- may develop recommendations for organizational activities of Kantara
which address the developing NSTIC activities and progress.
FFO IMPORTANT Dates: Abbreviated proposals, paper and electronic, must
be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 7,
2012. Abbreviated proposals received after this deadline will not be reviewed
or considered. Review of abbreviated proposals and selection of finalists
is expected to be completed by Thursday, March 22, 2012. Full proposals,
paper and electronic, must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on Monday, April 23, 2012. Full proposals received after this deadline
will not be reviewed or considered. Review of full proposals, selection
of successful proposers, and award processing is expected to be completed
in July 2012. The earliest anticipated start date for awards under this
FFO is expected to be September 1, 2012.
As always, my door is open for direct comments or questions stakeholders
may have. You may contact me directly and/or use the community/nstic-dg
lists to have broader discussions.
Thank you Kantara community for your efforts and input regarding NSTIC
to date and thank you for your continued support regarding the development
of NSTIC toward the fostering of a voluntary, privacy-respecting Identity
Ecosystem for ALL!
Note: I've cross posted this message to a few lists. If you are
not a member of each of those lists you will see bounce messages IF you
reply to all. FYI - the community list is 'open' to all respondents.
If you are unsure just respond to community@. thx!
