Hello everyone
...
Without the constant pressure of conferences, Kantara staff use this period of the year to do all-important maintenance and updates to the website and wiki. Some of these changes are subtle but I hope you see them nonetheless. This year has been no exception tho' we have noted how much busier it is this year, with a fairly full slate of calls for the assurance program, strategic opportunities and upcoming conference planning. The NGI_Trust project of which Kantara Europe is a consortium partner has been particularly busy.

Meanwhile, revel and feast on this great result from Kantara member Airside Mobile. And before you ask.. Yes! . It does use Kantara's Consent Receipt specification! . Who says nothing ever happens in July!
Who says nothing ever happens in July!
A final reminder to take a look at our 10th Anniversary celebration video, Infographic and social Wall here, straight off the homepage of the website (and scroll down).

On the community side of the house:
- the Consent & Information Sharing WG (CISWG) continues its call for contributions (see it from the wiki landing page here) for the next build of the specification, and see the existing known implementations here.
- 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 and preparing a recast UMA submission for IETF#105 in Montreal next month. hot on the heels of the US federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) policy on identity credential and access management the GAO just published GAO-19-288 'Federal Agencies need to strengthen online identity verification processes' a need that Kantara can fulfil via its Trust Framework Operations program and its NIST 800-63-3 Rev 3 Class of Approval. Its steward ,the Identity Assurance Working Group (IAWG) is putting the final touches to its report to NIST regarding its learnings from assessments where guidance and clarification would be helpful. The refreshed Overview and Glossary for the Identity Assurance Framework (IAF) is out for public review and comment and welcomes your contribution. , while considering a re-submission to the IETF of the UMA specs as an Informational RFC.
- meanwhile the
Summer's here. Enjoy and relax!
