The steering committee has been discussing (and establishing relative priorities between) some goals to structure their strategic plan for 2021.  We are curious to take a temperature reading on how the general membership might prioritize the goals given the same options.

The 6 goals were framed thusly:

* SSI Big Tent Identity - being, and being seen as, the most widely-representative organization in the decentralized identity space.

* “Outreach” - being proactive with decision-makers, policy-makers, and experts on identity and credentialing matters.

* Paying membership - prioritizing revenue growth from members, prioritizing new members and retention based on size of company (as measured in dues)

* Active Enterprise membership - emphasizing enterprise memberships (and consortia/ecosystem collaborations) in the short- and medium-term to establish marquis projects and collaborations that drive total membership size over time.

* Business/front-of-house engagement - emphasizing non-technical work items, from consortia and collaboration formation to product and UX collaboration, education/co-marketing, etc

* Work items/commits and quality engagement - keeping the focus on code and specs, focusing on incentivizing contributions (which may include chartered laboratories, regulatory sandboxes, hackathons, and/or bounties) and promoting items or specs under DIF management.

For a more detailed explanation of each, see this condensed version of the Steering Committee slide deck from last week:
