The first edition of the Body of Knowledge (BoK is starting to come together with the help of topic shepherds assigned to the different sections to help manage content. 

More authors for the different sections are needed, however, and the best authors in this space are identity practitioners! We’re looking for individuals willing to write material that will ultimately drive the IDPro Certification Program. Topics include the digital identity life cycle, different forms of access control, IAM and business processes, and more.

By being involved, you will help improve the identity ecosystem and have your name noted as an expert in the field. We are looking for submissions for this first edition and will begin the editorial work in April 2019.

You won’t be going this alone! There will be review cycles with the BoK committee and a professional editor to provide feedback and establish consistency of terminology across all submitted material. We are also using templates to help make sure that all the articles follow a similar style, with an eye towards making the final compendium easier to understand for the reader.

If you are interested in being a part of this effort, please reach out to info@idpro.org. If you want to make a contribution, even after the editorial phase starts, please reach out. There will still likely be an opportunity. We will work with you from there.

 

IDPro is a silver sponsor of KNOW 2019 and will have a booth on the show floor (come visit us!).
