Abstract
Response to the Department of Commerce Notice of Inquiry for Models for a Governance Structure for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). Prepared by EDUCAUSE, Internet2 and InCommon. Concerns include: an overly ambitious scope and scale to NSTIC, enforceability of NSTIC decisions, and the importance that technology and standards developed under NSTIC be open source and freely available to all.
