      Each community represented will present a use case which is consistent with their vision of federated identity management and highlight the issues blocking them implementing this use case today.

      These inputs will be drawn together at the end of the session to present a common vision for federated identity.

      Conclusions and next steps
      Some questions to address: * What are the common assets/infrastructures which the communities would need to come together in order to use efficiently? * Who benefits from this work? * Who pays for it? * How will it be managed? * Roles of stakeholders?
