Abstract
As part of the EDUCAUSE 2006 Program Plan, EDUCAUSE is holding several summits on topics of importance to higher education designed to bring together thought leaders and experts in the community in order to capture the best strategies and behaviors. The Identity Management (IdM) Summit held in Washington, D.C., in November 2006 was attended by about 50 higher education administrators who hold either an IT or functional role. Sponsored by an NSF Middleware Initiative Award to EDUCAUSE and Internet2, the Summit resulted in a collection of information from a broad higher education constituency who are knowledgeable and experienced in the area of identity management. Using this information, EDUCAUSE and partners are creating a body of knowledge to assist campuses in developing and enhancing their home IdM environments.
