The Federal Government must organize to provide leadership, accountability, and guidance in the implementation of the Identity
Ecosystem. The White House will select an agency and hold it accountable for coordinating the process and organizations that

mission areas, and some of these are outlined in this document. However, the Lead Agency will: * Assess progress against the
goals, objectives and actions stated herein; * Ensure the government leads by example in developing and supporting the Identity
Ecosystem; * Coordinate collaboration and joint-owned actions across private and public entities, as they work to develop
the Identity Ecosystem; * Support interagency collaboration and coordinate interagency efforts associated with achieving the
vision; and * Establish private sector advisory mechanisms and engagement strategies. The Lead Agency must actively seek interagency
collaboration, harness multi-disciplinary and multisector contributions and provide collective thought leadership across Government
in order to harmonize and integrate various public and private sector policies and efforts. The Office of the Cybersecurity
Coordinator within the EOP will continue to lead inter-agency policy development specified in this action plan. The Lead Agency
will work closely with the Office of the Cybersecurity Coordinator. In addition, the Lead Agency will participate in the Federal
CIO Council and ensure coordination across existing and future relevant initiatives.
