ZDNet reports on March 14, 2012, that the National Institute of Standards of Technology is offering grant money “to establish an independent steering committee led by the private sector that works in conjunction with the federal government to support” the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, quoting Jeremy Grant, senior executive adviser for identity management at NIST and the head of NSTIC Program Office. According to the ZDNet:
The government’s national identity strategy is committing up to $2.5 million over the next two years to fund an organization that will establish and oversee a steering committee that is the linchpin to securing private- sector participation in its plan.
