Catalys: Jamie Lewis Keynote

In his keynote presentation this morning, Jamie Lewis
noted that "User-centric IdM is the next new thing." His talking points were:

*Heady mix of optimists, pessimists, idealists, cynics
*Agendas, governments, commercial interests could subvert the process
*Indicators of the constant tensions virtualization, digital ID create
*The tug of war will continue, and we all have a stake in the outcome
*Demonstrates the relativistic nature of identity, need for polycentrism

THis, of course, is the conversation that many of us (including Jamie)have been having almost since the end of last year's Catalyst. But now the message is going out to the corporate masses. THat is good.
