Subject: Meeting re Potential Work on International IdM Legal Issues – May 29, Washington DC

The U.S. State Department, along with the ABA IdM Legal Task Force and the Georgetown University Law School Center on Transnational Business and the Law, will be cosponsoring a public meeting to be held on May 29 to examine the possibility of undertaking international legal work on issues relating to identity management and trust services.

As discussed in prior posts on this list, we are starting to see legislative activity regarding identify management and trust services including, most recently, the EU eIDAS Regulation in July 2014, and the Virginia Electronic Identity Management Act in March 2015.

The May 29 meeting will be held to discuss the possibility of future legal work on these topics by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). It is expected that there will be a proposal from several countries to the July 2015 annual meeting of UNCITRAL recommending that UNCITRAL undertake legal work on issues relating to IdM and trust services. The ABA Task Force is currently seeking ABA authorization to join in that proposal.

The purpose of the public meeting is to obtain the views of interested stakeholders on these issues, in advance of the UNCITRAL annual meeting.

The meeting will be held on May 29, 2015 from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Georgetown University Law School in Washington DC. The meeting is open to the public but advance registration is requested. A copy of the Federal Register notice announcing the meeting and providing details for attending is attached.

If this is a topic of interest, please try to attend.

Thanks,

Tom
