## Abstract
This document proposes to form a short term team to develop consistent messaging for the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) market. It lists key stakeholders who would actively promote SSI adoption. The goal is to create an SSI market roadmap. This roadmap will help SSI leaders, standards bodies, developers, academics, media, and investors coordinate and clarify their messaging to the market, to accelerate the SSI adoption. We illustrate the need for this by summarizing our market strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis), and show how this simple analysis exposes important marketing goals. Further projects will include go-to-market materials for developers, market explainers, frequently asked questions, market glossaries, and market research.

We wrote this paper to find more people who value a healthy SSI market. By working with us on this short term project, you will help to grow the overall SSI market. Please join us!

It seeks to create the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems. Each event generates roughly 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future. RBOT may also use hackathons to implement those ideas.
