2016 - a good year to build interest and new energy

2017 - a good year to harness that energy and start the positive spiral

Andrew's Plans for 2017:

• Drive the creation of the Kantara Initiative Global Collaboration and Innovation Center portal
  • Publication platform for DG/WG outputs
  • Single point of discovery for Kantara outputs and programs
• Focus on the value of Kantara membership
  • The benefits of membership over and above DG/WG participation
• Support and growth of technical communities
  • Identity Assurance, Identity & Access Federations
  • Information Sharing (right now this is GDPR instigated, but the community is much broader)
  • Personal Data Ecosystems
  • Blockchain (which slice?)
  • Smart Contracts (which slice?)
  • Sovereign / autonomous actors (is this viable?)
  • Also, support for joint-effort work between different DG/WG
• Refinement of Kantara Operating Procedures
  • Clarification of types of Kantara publications
    • Recommendations, Reports exist - what are Technical Specifications?
  • Finalization of IPR contributor covenant
  • Formalization of use of github (and other) repositories for Kantara material

Overall: drive value creation and capture for Kantara

Stay tuned for discussion drafts about:

• How communities could choose to document standard practices and evolve into voluntary codes of practice or conformity assessment programs.
• Options for WG/DG publications categories
• Ideas for the portal structure
