Darrell O'Donnell will be at IIW, 

Neil Thomson co-chair of Data Modeling &___ WG authentic data vs authentic identity, follow on from ISWG many others on same track, triangle similar to issuer, holder, verifier, but different. One issuer, thousands of data providers.  How are these sources and issuers different? what denotes authenticity, consent etc - how do these fit together  e.g. DIF Data Agreements Group, same with Consent, discussions about the process/agreement, but not about the data.

Many reviewers and excellent comments on the paper  leading to improvements on the paper.  Many discussions needed going forward, further work.

Continuing the discussion: Overcoming Harms_Further Discussion Document, initially including detailed and thought provoking commentary from Jill Bamforth.  

Progress against ToDo's

•  draw out the flip side of benefits
•  add business case (Phil Wolff )  Important point about the commercial so-what, Nicky Hickman noted that harms are costs, a similar question to  Michael Becker who asked for thoughts on an article Personal Data Damages: A Reflection on Major vs Micro Concussions

 "A colleague asked me a question today "do you have a personal data harms stat that you can share that will help me shake up an executive? A stat that is so blatantly damaging that it will compel them to invest in the development of personal information management solutions and lean into being a personal information economy leader." 

Harms are costs: they cost businesses billions in customer services, abuse management systems, security, fraud management, reputational damage and opportunity cost. At the same time they cost every public purse billions mopping up the after-effects e.g. healthcare, benefits, national cybersecurity, ... As soon as that senior exec realises that the microharms not only impact his bonus, but also his taxes your friend will have his attention!

Is there a business case for addressing harms, or is it a moral endevour?

Darrell O'Donnell - need concrete examples.  Impact on employees of firms.

Neil Thomson - many things that may be done are additional benefits of using SSI, security benefit.  Future-proofing also a benefit, freebies by adopting SSI.
