One thing that would be useful is to get careful analyses of a number of use cases, and then feed back the information to the use case developers on privacy issues raised by their model.  We clearly don't have the personpower to do analysis on a large scale, so here's a thought: If we could analyze several (meaning at least three) use cases, would it make sense to write upthe methodology and PNRM and present at an academic workshop.  For example, one such is Digital Identity Workshop ( http://www.nttmcl.com/dim2011/ ).  Timing might not be good for that though, since papers are due in a couple of weeks for a meeting in October (and next year may be too late).  I'm less interested in the validation of the academic workshop than I am in getting the ideas out (perhaps students might be interested in working out some use cases). That's one thought. Susan On 6/23/11 11:48 AM, Michael Willett wrote: 016101cc31bd$055f3f90$101dbeb0$@rr.com type= cite > Susan raised a good question: What next with the Use Case(s)? One view: We are tackling Use Cases to gain insight and to refine both the Methodology and the PMRM, not to necessarily “solve” the Use Case. An approach to solutions will be a vital by-product, however, for credibility. An architecture and the specific mechanisms for implementation are still needed. We should tackle several Uses Cases internally (Smart Grid subset next?) , see what we have learned, revise the Methodology (and PMRM), then we can decide how to formally “go public”. Next week, Dawn will take advantage of an opportunity given to us to make a BRIEF, panel presentation to the NSTIC Conference in Boston, on the ‘tactics’ being used in the PMRM TC; ie, the Methodology and PMRM. This is billed as strictly works in progress and the presentation is high level. Our hope would be to draw others to the formative work. Thoughts? Michael
