Notes

Standards Committee (Joe)

• Drummond and Joe have looked at multiple ways to "name" the users of VRM for the first use case
• Challenge: Who is the "user" and the conflict with "user-centrism"
• Resolved -- Broken out to "actors" (people or systems, eg. vendor or individual) and "roles" (e.g. "adressee," who manages his address in the system)
• Will be looking at the specific Use Cases for the Personal Address Manager service.

Organization Committee (Doc)

• Dean will wheedle.

Usage Committee (Adriana)

• Trying to organize people to get together F2F
• Doing monthly get-togethers in London
• Organizing a smaller gathering on 15April in London (goal: identify problems that VRM can address for real people)
• "I don't talk to companies, I talk to people within companies" - connecting people who might be interested in the concepts of VRM
• Goal - open doors

Compliance Committee (Iain)

• One option on table to outsource compliance to Liberty Alliance, but more discussion needed.

Events

• European Meeting last week

• VRM Itch, 15-April-2008 in London - Adriana
  • For those who have been following VRM for a while
  • For those who want to make VRM work
  • For users, no agenda, user-driven
  • Sort of like IIW, but without presentations
  • Most attendees will already know each other
  • Approximately 35 attendees

• Upcoming EU Identity Conference in Munich
  • 22April to 26April
  • "VRM day" will likely be 22April

• June Workshop - still trying to set dates, likely in Boston

Open Discussion

• Dean is looking for examples of VRM or things that are like VRM, even if those examples predate the term VRM itself in order to start a file of these examples.
  • Eventful Demand - aggregate user demand to find enough value to have performers show up

• IT and such
  • Kevin Marks looking at Google Groups
  • It appears people are signed/signed up, but can't sign in
