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 Assurance Program during her 7 years and a half association with us. He also thanked her for her excellent support of the IAWG. Richard Wilsher added that she has been a "great accomplice." Kay commented that finding a new Assurance Program Manager is one of her highest priorities, and that she is currently evaluating several candidates. 

Ken added that pending a new APM '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. 

Minutes approval: Mark Hapner moved approval of the the draft Minutes of the IAWG meeting of June 3; Eric Thompson seconded.  The Minutes were approved unanimously, as written.   

Staff reports and updates: Ruth Puente reported that the assessment program is quite active and she anticipates approval of 4 new SPs Service Providers over the next months. 

LC reports and updates:  Ken said the LC has approved a very substantive report on mDL Privacy prepared by the Privacy and Identity Protection in mobile Driving License ecosystems DG (PImDL DG), which is now in the publication pipeline. He believes the report will be very influential because it documents a number of significant privacy issues that mDL solutions will have to address.

Richard said Sec 5.4. does allow US Federal agencies to use "comparable alternatives" and provides some guidance on how that would be done. Richard suggested that KI might perform an assessment of a service that used an alternative control, but he feels that Kantara can't take on determination of what is  "comparable."

He Richard shared draft language for an approach to this issue Kantara might take.:

Richard further reported discussion of this issue with David Temoshok of NIST. He said David strongly discouraged KI involvement in assessing these alternative controls because it's the Federal Agencies CIO responsibility; he further believes use of such alternatives would only be appropriate to address a use-case unique to one agency.
