While beginning to develop FedID 2020, Planning Committee members decided to significantly focus on three fundamental areas of utmost importance to federal identity activities over the next few years and request input from the identity community on how to best address them during the event. Our objective is for the public-private FedID community to collaboratively develop consensus recommendations for these areas, which the government can then leverage as they plan and implement their identity strategies.

Each of these three fundamental areas are introduced here, with issues of interest further described. We are asking for the community’s input on these issues:

• Is there an issue that we mention that is not well understood by the private sector, and thus the government needs to better explain at FedID?
• What are the innovative ideas out there, or experiences from other sectors, that the government needs to be aware of for a specific issue, & who would be best to present those ideas at FedID?
• Do you have ideas on how to best investigate an issue and develop public-private consensus on the way forward (such as a panel discussion, small group workshop, a hackathon-like activity, etc.) that we could implement at FedID?
• Marketing pitches are not allowed at FedID, and stovepiped solutions aren’t really “solutions” in the federal space, so submissions on these lines will not be considered.
