DRAFT SUBJECT TO FURTHER REVISION AND APPROVAL
(1) Discussion Group Name
Identity Community Monitoring and Interface - Update Discussion Group (ICMIICU-DG)
(2) Discussion Topic/Purpose/Motivation
The goal of the ICMIICU-DG is to provide a mechanism means for Kantara Initiative participants to keep the initiative updated to remain up to date with the status of other related tracked identity projects. As a nexus point for project information, a secondary goal is to provide liaison opportunities between Kantara Initiative and related projects.
Activities of the ICMI-DG may include:
...
- suggest speakers from the Identity Community for Kantara Initiative events,
- suggest Kantara Initiative speakers for Identity Community events, and
- support the execution of affiliated Identity Community events.
...
There are a number of projects that, for various reasons, are not visible enough to Kantara Initiative participants, let alone the wider community. The projects will be identified and tracked by the ICU-DG which will release updates as a weekly podcast series tentatively titled the "Identity Matters Podcast: A Kantara Initiative".
Activities of the ICU-DG include:
- Weekly podcasts (three per month) of recorded interviews about specific tracked projects.
- Monthly podcast of a teleconference in which participants provide short updates on various tracked projects.
- RSS feed of blog posts highlighting tracked projects and associated links referenced in each podcast.
NOTE: The ICU-DG is not intended as a forum for doing work on the tracked projects or debating their merits per se, but rather as a mechanism for quickly and easily sharing update reports.
