Deb:
Thanks for the good news. I am sure the OpenID Foundation will be well represented at your town hall in December. I look forward to our panel and your presentation on OpenID pilots at the NIST and NIH events next week. OpenID has a growing international presence. The OpenID Foundation Board strategy for 2009 / 2010 identified international outreach as a key priority and funded an outreach program to support adoption worldwide. The acting Vice Chairman of the Foundation's Board is Mr. Nat Sakimura, a leader in innovative multi LOA applications development in Japan and a recognized authority on OpenID and other identity protocols worldwide. As you know the foundation has contracted with Mr. John Bradley, a Canadian citizen, to provide training and technical assistance to US Government agencies and other interested governments; including the UK and EU. These gentlemen and others (copied above) may share their expertise regarding your question re: ."what is the recommended way to 'create an identity' for individuals from foreign countries who may only loosely be affiliated with an agency? ..." I am sure you will get a robust response. Thanks again for your leadership and support of open identity for open government.
