Agenda confirmation:  Ken noted that the order of Discussion items had been changed from the original meeting announcement to accommodate the "comparable alternatives" item that is believed to be of current interest to CSPs.

Chair comments: Ken welcomed the new Kantara Executive Director (ED), Kay Chopard, and invited her to introduce herself. Kay said she is very impressed with the variety of important work being done in Kantara and specifically in the IAWG, citing today's full agenda as an example. She has so far been fully occupied with learning how Kantara operates and meeting people in Kantara and from other organizations interested in working with us, but she looks forward to contributing to the substantive work very soon. She called out particularly the assistance Ruth Puentes has been providing to support a quick and smooth transition.  She invited meeting participants to reach out to her at kay@kantarainitiative.org.  

Ken noted that Ruth is also transitioning, to a new position at another organization, as of July 1.  He congratulated her but also expressed how important she has been to maturing Kantara's Information Assurance Program , including during her 9-year association with us. He also thanked her for her excellent support for of the IAWG. Richard Wilshire added that she has been a "great accomplice." Kay commented that finding a new Information Assurance Program Manger Manager (IAPM) is one of her highest priorities, and that she is currently evaluating several candidates. 

Ken added that pending a new IAPM's getting up to speed the WG will be on its own for administrative support and is in need of a volunteer Secretary to prepare Minutes. He emphasized that responsibility does not require a great deal of time and invited IAWG participants to contact him if they might be able to step up.

Discussion:

Consideration of 'comparable alternatives' - See: https://groups.google.com/g/idassurance/c/GIGLjValdg4


Richard:  A Fed agency asks how would KI handle it's using a "compatible alternative to those in 800-63"  Sec 5.4. does allow Fed agencies to use "comparable alternatives" and says how.  So, KI could include such in our assessment but can't take on determination of what's comparable., David T discourages KI involvement, and seemed to think it would be sui generis. 

...

Roger Quint: what are we trying to accomplish? Is this a general strategy for addressing exceptions? Need to avoid getting KI in the middle of hard determinations. 

Mark Hapner: 

SOCA:  applicable
