Aside from the government and the business sector, a limited amount of NGO’s and academics are actually aware of and involved in said discourse. The major concern, in my humble opinion, lies in the fact that most of the stan-dards and solutions for identity issues are currently vendor driven. This fact makes it a pretty safe bet to assume that most fundamental decisions concerning identity management innovations are being made in consulting firms and chosen for imple-mentation during meetings with government officials. Civil society is left out and must be content to react to the effects of said decisions (again, unawareness of the discourse). So we have enterprise-centric identity management being implemented in the pub-lic sector while a citizen-centric focus on what information individuals choose to make available and used for management is collecting dust. An underlying principle that must prevail (informed in part @ the Aus-trian/German/Mexican/US CIO Exchange in Washington DC) is that the use of pro-gressively more invasive identity management procedures must be accompanied (and consequently justified) by the creation of additional public value (or the pro-tection of existing value).
