USER EXPERIENCE COMMITTEE MEETING NOTES

Meeting Minutes
- The meeting started off with Tom Jones sharing his updates to the baseline requirements for Usable Requirement 1.
- Mary Hodder and Tom Jones discussed the Functional Model Representation of the Identity Ecosystem roles and the functional elements in the description matrix (registration, Credentialing, Authentication, Authorization, and Transaction Intermediation) document on the IDESG website. This was a little off topic, but helped the conversation surrounding the roles-based categories.
- Mary proposed that the document be updated to reflect current thinking of the roles-based categories. The IDESG Board could get the changes approved.
- The team also discussed the possibility of doing a decentralized identity system that functions off of a block-chain (distributed registry) scenario; however, this has been proposed before and did not get any traction.
- USABLE-1. USABILITY PRACTICES
- Entities conducting digital identity management functions MUST apply user-centric design, and industry—accepted appropriate usability guidelines and practices, to the communications, interfaces, policies, data transactions, and end-to-end processses they offer, and remediate significant defects identified by their usability assessment.
- SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE
The term “user-centric” design is a key tenet and requirement of the IDESG founding document the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) dated April 15, 2011. This term if further described in Appendix A and is a common term in the User Experience domain.
- Proposed new text:
- The term “user-centric” permeates the NISTIC Strategy AND THE idesg PRINCIPLES. Besides those items related to security, privacy ad interoperability, these UX items are included:
• Transparency, the user understands the data collected and how it will be used • Reduced Cognitive Load on the User, minimize the number of authentication factors, like passwords. • Easy to User by automating the user’s ability to know and change data held about them. • Improve confidence by showing users that web sites are part of a trusted framework. • Choice to present alternative identifies or authenticaion servers to authorize access.
- Jim Kragh will take over as Chair of the User Experience Committee. Mary will send an email out seven days before she leaves her position as Chair. Tom Jones will send Mary a formal nomination for Jim as Chair.
- We are not changing the requirements, only the supplemental guidance. We can change supplemental guidance at any time that we would like to. Tom Jones will continue to work on the supplemental guidance and send it out when he has it updated and then discuss at the October 24 meeting. Since the wiki is done, Tom will just use Word to create it.
- Adjourn:
- 1:05pm ET
- Next meeting is scheduled for October 24, 2017
