Identity Trust Charter

Name
Identity Trust

Purpose
Identity Trust is an effort that is focused on Opening Consent Management.

At this time people are not able to clearly understand what privacy and control they have over their own identity information especially online. This means that trust is obstructed in the use of digital identity services. While Regulators and Enterprise come to an understanding of what is self-regulation our information is taken, shared and used with archaic tools of consent.

This Work Group is call to action to develop an open consent management standards as a way to support and facilitate the emerging Strategies For Trust Identities in Cyberspace and digital identity management globally.

This work group has been set up to develop the Master Controller Access to Consent Framework which back in 2006 was a long way to describe user centric consent management. This effort has been incubating for 5 years while research and understanding in the fields of Identity and Trust have grown greatly.

This Work Group is a call to action for the development of consent management models that increase the economic performance of information sharing.

Currently there are 5 commonly stated Consent Models for Identity Management according to (

- Implied Consent - Opt-IN - Opt-IN with conditions - Opt-Out - Opt Out with exceptions

These are the common static Enterprise models that have been developed in accordance with privacy policy and regulation. The current consent models are applied in an ad-hoc manner and are limited in their ability to manage informed consent. A component that is primary precept of privacy and requirement for trust online. This work group is a call to action to develop user centric consent management which enables people to centrally manage consent. This entail standardizing access to manage consent.

This effort hypothesizes that utilizing the existing consent management infrastructure consent mechanisms (opt-ins and outs) can dynamically be called post consent transaction for further management. Creating a dynamic way to reduce the friction between Enterprise and Users as well as enabling organization to dynamically have more valuable access to information from people.
