Hello everyone
...
Without question, the highlight for Kantara came on the first night, Sunday at 6pm at the Welcome Reception. With a drum roll from the band to herald the announcement of something important, the respective Presidents of the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group (IDESG) and Kantara took to the stage to formally sign the legal documents to transition IDESG artefacts to their new home at Kantara, amidst the unveiling of the IDESG logo straplined with 'A Kantara Trust Mark' on the big screen. You can see both it and the press release here on the slider featured on Kantara's website landing page. IDESG'committees can continue their great work in Kantara's IDESG Working Group while the IDEF and Registry will sit alongside Kantara's own Trust Marked schemes from its Trust Framework Operations and Assurance. program. The IDESG brand and Trust Mark will continue to be promulgated in the US. It will take a few months to settle, but we sense an air of anticipatory excitement from the IDESG mebers and non member participants as the brand and assets enter this next phase of development.
In the closing days of the month, in response to public member comments, we modified the way in which you download Kantara's Reports, Recommendations, Specifications and Policy documents. If you have any queries or comments on the revised approach or want to be kept informed about developments on the work you are interested in, please Contact us because we now have no means of contacting you.
New Members joining this month are UNLOQ Systems Ltd from the UK, Carlos Dominguez from Canada, Reede Taylor from the Netherlands and Sunil Kapila from India, while CA Technologies Inc and Judith Bush from the US renewed. Welcome UNLOQ, Carlos, Reede and Sunil, and welcome home CA and Judith!
