Subject: FYI: Conference on International Government Clouds in March in
Reston, Virginia

 

On October 12, there is going to be a Government Cloud Executives Session at
the International Cloud Symposium
<http://events.oasis-open.org/home/cloud/2011>  outside London. (See the
speaker list below.)  The Symposium also includes two International
Standards Roadmapping Sessions
<http://events.oasis-open.org/home/cloud/2011/agenda#wednesday>  featuring
European, UK, and American leaders (e.g. NIST).

 

In March,  a follow-on Conference with a similar level of international
Cloud executive participants  will be held in Reston, Virginia hosted by the
Cloud Standards Customer Council
<http://www.cloud-council.org/Cloud-Council_Core_Document.pdf> .  Several of
the October speakers have already signed up to participate. The date will be
March 20 or 21. Some of the topics are listed below. Any feedback on
possible topics would be valuable. 

 

- Federated Trust (Federated Identity, Authentication, Authorization,
Policy, Regulatory, Monitoring)

- Data Transfers (Categorizing Data, Regulatory Constraints, Policy,
Security, Interface and Format Standards)

- Shared Resources (Global Public Utilities, Service Catalogs, Resource
Descriptions, Access Mechanisms)

 

There is now a window of opportunity to establish international government
collaboration on Cloud data and resource interoperability. In a few years,
the national Cloud infrastructures and frameworks will be more complex and
it will be difficult to retrofit Cloud collaboration across international
boundaries.
