 Roll CallAndrew Hughes

Quorum achieved at 4:35pm Eastern

 IIW IPR DiscussionColin/Andy KurtzmanIt is the goal at the IIW conference next week to set up Kantara presentations in a manner by which the discussions and Kantara are protected under IPR. The notification of the IPR would be projected on a slide to the attendees (where projectors available). The concern is that those familiar with Kantara will not expect the legal notices prior to the discussion.
 Approve MinutesAndrew HughesEve Maler made a motion to approve the April 6, 2016 minutes as presented. The motion was seconded by Mary Hodder. There were no objections. The motion passed.
 AdministrationColin Wallis

Request for volunteers: CCICADA R&D Program

Until a Project Review Board is formed there are a number of white papers that need to be reviewed. It is not always the case that Rutgers will have the right person to review the papers. Noted that Andrew Hughes has already volunteered. Anyone interested in helping should send an email to Colin Wallis. On the call Ken Dagg volunteered to be a reviewer.

Executive Director highlights from Colin included:

  • Further dues have been received from ISTO as members elect to transfer 2015 membership dues to Kantara Initiative, Inc.
  • Neustar is rejoining.
  • The 1024 filing is under final legal review and will then be sent to the IRS.
  • IPR work will be brought to the Board at tomorrow's meeting; likely will be June before it is complete.
 Operationalizing the Kantara Theme and CollaborationAll

Discussion on 'innovation' ideas for DGs:

As previously noted Andrew wants the Leadership Council to be forward thinking to encourage additional projects and participation for Kantara and members.

Idea: Blockchain

Thomas joined to discuss an idea on Blockchain (a legal sub-group has been active for some time in UMAWG). There may be an opportunity for Kantara to provide leadership on Blockchain technology through a new working group. There will be a conference on digital contracts at the end of May at MIT. Day two is geared toward the technical attendees; possibly the afternoon of day two could be used as a sponsored afternoon to discuss these issues and gauge interest. Those on the call think this is an interesting topic and one that is not being tackled elsewhere. There may be other groups outside of Kantara that could join this group.

There was discussion on the differences between an WG and DG. It was noted that a Discussion Group should have written outputs but should not be technical specs. A Work Group around common accord should have have technical specs as an output.

Actions and next steps:

    • Andrew will put the text into the pre-existing template and circulate to the Leadership Council.
    • Schedule a follow-up meeting to further discuss the May event. Attendees to include: Colin, Andrew, Eve, Thomas and a member of the Virtual marketing team.

Idea: Professionalization for the Identity Business

Andrew noted that Ian Glazer has set up his speech cycle for this year around this topic. Andrew noted that a knowledge base is needed for these professionals - is Kantara the right place for this knowledge base to be built? Colin noted that it is a great idea, however, he is concerned about resources. Others noted it was also a good idea, wider feedback would be welcome, possibly at IIW. Suggestion to look at OpenBadges.org; Kantara could participate in the program in the future.
