"Industry collaboration is necessary for the wide scale deployment of interoperable, secure and privacy-respecting identity-enabled applications and services. I support the launch of Kantara Initiative because it is bringing individuals, organizations and communities together to collaboratively solve the harmonization and interoperability challenges that exist in the identity sector today. The collaborative work taking place within Kantara Initiative will help speed the deployment of interoperable identity-enabled solutions for businesses, governments and people, across regions and fixed and mobile networks."
--Robert Temple, Vice President, Security Technologies, BT
"The Identity world to date has lacked a single place where a broad swath of technical, legal, policy, and policy experts can get together to collaborate and solve real-world identity and security management challenges in advance of these challenges negatively impacting the Internet. The Kantara Initiative's timely creation and open governance model make it a very promising new organization to help the Internet community get ahead of the identity curve."
--Matthew Gardiner, Senior Principal, Product Marketing, CA, Inc.
"My interest and support for Kantara Initiative is based on the promise of interoperability and longer term convergence across the vast identity ecosystem to enable holistic identity management. This will in turn drive adoption and lower costs of both supporting applications and implementations and drive ease of use for the end user."
--Ken Salzberg, Director Technology Management, Systems Technology Lab, Intel
