Anil, I was very glad to see this as you and DHS deserve a truckload of credit for getting the DID train running. I had no idea the journey would take this long, but the whole trip has been worth it. Thank you for everything you have done for DIDs. =Drummond On Fri, Jul 15, 2022 at 4:03 AM John, Anil <anil.john@hq.dhs.gov> wrote: > From the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology > Directorate (S&T): > > > > “*The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology > Directorate (S&T) works to protect privacy and reduce vendor lock-in by > ensuring open standards and demonstrable interoperability testing.
