Identity Trust Charter

Name
Identity Trust

Purpose
This work group has been set up to develop the Master Data Controller Access Framework (MCAF). This Framework (contributed by Identity Trust CIC 06-10-2010) is used as a rights based framework for developing digital identity architecture.

The purpose of this work group is to organize a development community for this framework that can be used to launch, implement, and develop community interest applications and infrastructure. This work group encourages the formation of sub-working groups that use the framework for open development.

The MCAF is actively being developed to be able to input requirements for a digital standard in notice. The bulk of the work done here will be evolving Access and Notice infrastructure.

Practices
There will be regular calls and workgroup use case submissions that will form the bulk of development practice. This WG intends to contribute to discussion of regulation and support work towards a digital standard of notice.

This WG will interact with community, advocacy, academic, standard based, governmental, and industry efforts. (Updated list forth coming)

Requirements of Participation and How to Join
Membership is open to anyone who is interested in putting the law and policy together to create a secure, user-centric identity legal framework.

Anyone may join although the working group is not actively using a mailing list at this time. [if you are interested, please send an email to identitytrust@gmail.com]
