May I ask for your assistance, please? I am working to compile a prioritized list of the most important trends in the Digital Identity marketplace. Would you please review the following list (purposely not in priority order) and offer your comments about which ones you believe will have the greatest economic or social impact in the next 3-5 years? Please feel free to add your own, cross some off the list or otherwise critique what I have posted. Any input would be appreciated.

1. User centric identity is growing in prominence for both consumer and enterprise applications
2. Customer-focused commerce models including VRM are growing in prominence
3. Identity functionality is increasingly delivered as sets of services, rather than monolithic applications
4. Autonomous organizations offering Identity services, both within and outside the enterprise, are becoming more prominent
5. More template-driven rapid implementation methods are being used to reduce Identity Management implementation time
6. Identity federation is increasingly implemented on a broad scale
7. Business processes are increasingly engineered to integrate Identity from the start, rather than attaching Identity after the fact
8. The scope of Identity Management strategies will increasingly expand beyond operating systems, applications, directories and databases to integrate network access control and physical access control
9. Digital Identity methods will increasingly be used by governments to track citizens and enable e-government applications
10. Customers will increasingly demand strong integration among various components in Identity product and service suites
11. Standards-based interoperability among multiple products from different will be increasingly demanded by customers
12. Physical or virtual consolidation of customer Identities will increasingly enable vendors to have a single view of their customers

Thanks for your help. I'll publish an analysis of what I receive in a future article
