Hello everyone
...
As we gather our strength for the re-start of the conference circuit through till year's end, I do hope that you had a break over the northern hemisphere summer, got some skiing done in the south, and are poised for what is about to descend upon us. Take a look at the sheer spread events that Kantara is speaking at on our Events page here - and while on the subject of events, Kantara has been offered complimentary passes to pass onto 5 lucky members for IDENTITY WEEK ASIA, 8-9th October 2019 at Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore. These passes are valued at $1000 so even if you are not yet a member, and reside nearby or are visiting during that period, join now and save!
As reported last last month Kantara staff have updated the the website and wiki over the summer while fielding increased expressions of interest for the assurance program in particular.

- the UMA WG has its last call for contributions of UMA 2.0 profiles and extensions while also fine-tuning the business - legal framework model, while considering a re-submission to the IETF of the UMA specs as an Informational RFC in the Security Area.
