- Subscriber update
As discussed the BoT approved a motion to add a new class of involvement for Kantara Initiative which is Subscriber (see Definition below 1)
The Subscriber class was created with a few drivers in mind. One was to consolidate the Assurance Accreditation and Approval fees to an easier and more logical scheme. Another reason was to get this class of membership ready for access to interoperability specific tools. We have a project moving with Geant around the creation of OpenID Connect deployment verification tool which we're seeking to package for a certification in 2013. The idea is that these Subscribers are really geared at certification and approval activities.
The challenge: LC to discuss further this class of participation and determine rules to accompany it for incorporation in to the operating procedures. The next step is to have input and discussion in the LC toward draft text that would ultimately go for a full membership vote. (The operating procedure management is under the role of the LC and the full membership votes on final proposed changes.)
I'm requesting this item to be added to the next LC agenda and email discussion / thoughts in advance are more than welcome!
