Experiments identify the challenges for the adoption of the open-standards services, argues Edgar Whitley
It all started just over five years ago (6 July 2011 to be precise) when I received an email from Bill McCluggage, then Director of ICT Strategy and Policy, inviting me to join a new group that would help ensure that the Cabinet Office’s new identity assurance programme would engage effectively with relevant stakeholders and “incorporate issues related to privacy, trust and confidence” throughout the development of its new identity policy. This privacy friendly identity policy is now known as GOV.UK Verify.
The first meeting of the group, now known as the Cabinet Office Privacy and Consumer Advisory Group (PCAG) was held on 2 August 2011. PCAG is one of two advisory groups that steers the work of the Government’s Digital Service (GDS) in the Cabinet Office.
