Internet2 Trust and Identity working groups produce reports, recommendations, standards, best practices, and related documents. These are then provided to the community for review in the form of a consultation. In addition, some policy and other documents developed by Internet2 Trust and Identity division staff also undergo the community consultation process to gather broader  input and awareness before becoming finalized.  Consultations are typically open for 4-6 weeks for input.

The input gathered during the consultation is taken into consideration in the final draft of the report or other document. 

Thank you to the trust and identity community for reviewing and commenting on documents during the consultation period.
