Committees perform an oversight function, often with delegated authority from the board as defined in their charter. Participation of individuals in committees requires approval from the president and/or board.
Special interest groups (SIGs) are informal member-driven groups that enable companies with common interests to discuss FIDO-related matters. Participation of individuals in SIGs requires that they meet inclusion criteria for the SIG.
Individuals wishing to be part of any of these groups must demonstrate subject matter expertise in the appropriate area. If you are a FIDO Alliance member and are interested in participating in one of these groups, please contact help@fidoalliance.org.
