**February 22, 2024**
                    - EU-US TTC WG-1 (Working Group 1) Webinar: Unpacking the Digital Identity Mapping Results****(*registration details coming soon - please check back*) .

**February 29, 2024**
                    - Feedback on the  DRAFT EU-US TTC WG-1 Digital Identity Mapping Exercise Report , as well as use cases and areas of potential US-EU cooperation on digital identity, is requested by 5:59 AM CET on March 1, 2024/11:59 PM EST on February 29, 2024. 
                    - Submit all feedback via dig-comments [at] nist.gov (dig-comments[at]nist[dot]gov).

**Background**

Following a successful round of government-to-government technical exchanges earlier this calendar year, in March 2023, the European Commission and the US Government, operating under the auspices of the US-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) WG-1, publicly committed to undertake a transatlantic mapping exercise with the objective of finding commonalities between the EU and US approaches to digital identity. 

Released today, the jointly authored EU-US TTC WG-1 **Digital Identity Mapping Exercise Report**provides the preliminary results of an initial mapping centered on the definitions, assurance levels, and references to international standards included across Revision 3 of the NIST Digital Identity Guidelines (Special Publication 800-63, Revision 3) and European Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market. 

**Call for Feedback**

The next phase of this project will include collecting feedback and selecting potential use cases for transatlantic cooperation that highlight the need for and value of enabling the cross-border use of digital identities. The EC and the US are actively seeking comments from communities with subject matter expertise in digital identity, privacy, human-centered design, and cybersecurity; organizations that have designed or implemented digital identity systems within the EU, the US, or in cross-border contexts; and others with equities related to the topic of digital identity. 

***The Digital Identity Subgroup is particularly interested in feedback on the following topics:***
                  - **Definitions**                      - Additional definitions that could be added to the existing mapping exercise.
                    - Any additional context that could be incorporated in the current mapping to clarify when and how certain definitions apply.
                  - **Levels of assurance**                      - Feedback on the extent to which the mapping reflects the experiences of individuals and organizations that have overseen or been the subject of real-world implementation.
                    - Additional components (i.e., Column A of each tab within the linked mapping exercise spreadsheet) that could be added to the mapping, for instance evidence requirements or allowed authenticators.
                  - **International standards references**                      - Additional references that could be added.
                    - Which standards individuals and/or their organizations rely on most often, and for what sectors and scenarios.
                  - **Ecosystem gaps and questions**                      - If/what gaps exist in technical guidance and standards.
                    - If/what gaps exist in the body of knowledge and research related to identity verification; open questions that could be addressed through dedicated joint EU-US research efforts.
                    - If/what gaps exist in the market of available identity verification services and technologies.
                    - Barriers to cross-border interoperability of identity solutions and processes, such as policies, practical challenges and other factors.
                  - **Use cases**  Input on the most critical use cases that would benefit from transatlantic pre-standardization research cooperation on remote identification, for example:                      - Transportation/travel (digital travel credentials, mobile driving licenses).
                    - Financial services (retail payment, e-Invoicing).
                    - Health (health records).
                    - Education/professional credentials (diplomas, certifications).
