Overview
How OSIA is governed?
The OSIA initiative is developed by the not-for-profit Secure Identity Alliance with the full support of its membership.
It is governed under a formal structure including an independent OSIA Advisory Committee, with work carried out by the OSIA GitHub Community and the OSIA Working Group.
These bodies have transparent and publicly available terms of reference to guide intra and inter committee relations.
OSIA Advisory Committee
Consists of government and academic affiliated Members of the SIA.
The Advisory Committee meets twice a year to review the progress of OSIA and provide strategic guidance for the initiative.
OSIA Working Group
Consists of public and private industry Members and affiliated Members of the SIA.
The Working Group meets once a month to manage the evolution of all OSIA functional and technical specifications. It also solicits feedback from the GitHub Open Community
GitHub Community & license
OSIA is based on an open copyright and software license. OSIA specifications are published on GitHub supervised by an external and independent consultant.
Any country, technology provider or individual is free to download the functional and technical specifications to implement in their ID systems.
