Hello everyone
...
The International Identity Summit (IIS) event hosted this year in Seattle (the reason why I am here) by the University of Washington with the Industry host and Kantara liaison DIACC, is very different. It is essentially an invitation-only government event where jurisdictions share knowledge behind closed doors that are later opened to allow industry to engage. Typically Kantara would might not attend because it has not been granted any podium time. But with Kantara holding the largest contingent of government members of any identity industry consortia and the fact that KIPI program performer Lockstep Technologies is announcing its transition to commercialization along with members Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada, 1Kosmos and SecureKey Technologies all presenting, we are honor-bound to support them as you might expect Kantara could do for you.
But it doesn't stop there. We have the Consumer Identity World series kick off its 2018 Tour in Seattle in 2 weeks time, featuring Kantarians Eve Maler, David Turner and Andrew Hughes on Friday September 21st. Discounts are available to members for this event. Later in the month I will be speaking on the state of the industry in London at Ubisecure's opening ceremony for its London office.
Looking back into August, Kantara had both a busy and successful month.

Our summer webinar series featuring 2 Australian members - the Australian Government's Digital Transformation Agency and Lockstep Technologies entiies on MDAV, drew a good number of attendees with great questions. Thank you to those that attended and if you registered you would have received the links to the presentations and recordings. Regarding DTA's webinar hsoted hosted by Kantara's eGov WG we ran out of time to answer several of the more detailed questions, so the eGov Working Group has resolved to approach DTA to do a follow-up 'deep dive' on some specific aspects of the Trust Framework and technical architecture. Join the eGov WG and stay tuned for mre more details.
On the process and procedures side of the house, your Leadership Council leads progressed the much delayed revision to the Operating Procedures over July and August. It is very close to being able to share with you, so stand by for it. My thanks to Ken Dagg, Sal D'Agostino and Andrew Hughes.Think about the Work and Discussion Groups you maybe joined but haven’t attended in a while. If you’re signed up to the Consent and Information Sharing Work Group rock up to their calls in August as they put the finishing touches to the Consent Receipt Interoperability demo to be showcased at MyData 2018. Huge thanks to solution providers collaborating together to make this happen – Consentua, digi.me, iWelcome, Trunomi, Ubisecure, UNLOQ and the individual contributor volunteers under the oversight of John Wunderlich and Andrew Hughes. You might want to check out the interview questions being drafted for clients of a similar suite of platform providers in the Consent Management Solutions Best Practice Work Group. Want to go more technical? Head to the IDoT Discussion Group where an architecture for a smart city use case is being worked on.
