identity credential. Trust Elevation TC proposers include
representatives of CA Technologies, Red Hat, U.S. National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. National Institutes of
Health, U.S. Veterans Health Administration, and others. Peter
Alterman of the U.S. NIST serves as convener. The member comment
period for this draft charter closes 20 July.
