Thoughts on the Information Card Foundation
Sadly, Kim Cameron and team has created a worst practice by forming the Information Card Foundation...
Hmmm. Front my seat, do you know how many organizations with membership fees my organization could possibly join under the guise of influence? Imagine a slick enterprise architect going in front of his boss, asking for funding of $50K to join the information card foundation on a day where the boss is keenly paying attention. How would you answer the following?
I wonder what Kim Cameron, Drummond Reed, Pamela Dingle or others would say if he were in my shoes...

How would you answer the following?
- McGovern, we already belong to Project Liberty. Why aren't they working on this?
- McGovern, if you look past the consumerish conversation, isn't B2B identity just as important?
- McGovern, if you agree that B2B identity from a business perspective is just as important, shouldn't the conversation occur within a vertical context as well?
- McGovern, you belong to OWASP? How come OWASP is ignorant to this problem space? More importantly, how come Information Card Foundation couldn't be more like OWASP
- If Information Cards are so freakin hot, then why is Microsoft talking to us about everything else but this?
- How come there are only vendors participating and none from other large enterprises?
I wonder what Kim Cameron, Drummond Reed, Pamela Dingle or others would say if he were in my shoes...
