Status Update on Group IP Analysis Project

No new update at this time.

Digital ID Pro

A sub-committee (Allan Foster, Ken Dagg, Ian Glazer, Allan Foster, Robin Wilton, Colin Wallis) has been created to move this initiative forward. The group has completed a terms of reference and is currently working on a survey, and a discussion group charter. The survey and DG will only be available to those who have signed the pledge. The opportunity to pledge closes on August 31. The sub-committee is also exploring options for the organization structure of the program.

Discussion on ideas for new DG/WG

Andrew noted that this is a continued push to brainstorm new ideas for discussion and working groups. There are several new groups in the formation stages: Digital ID Pro, Relying Partner Requirements, IoT

There was discussion around the same people dividing themselves across the board on WG/DGs. In the new Blockchain and Smart Contracts DG is trying to ensure value is being added in a unique way and divvying up the goals so that they are complimentary. As more groups are created we need to ensure that each is adding value and can seed itself in the universe, this is a balancing act. It may be wise to look for external efforts that need a home and make sure we don't invent work that could be done in existing efforts. Essentially we need to use volunteers, WG and DGs wisely, not overlap and be mindful of time etc.Also consider doubling down on what has proven to be successful.

All should be aware of any transitions ready to take place such as the Blockchain DG to a WG. Also be aware of any WG's that should transition back to a DG.

Review of the Kantara Policies

Andrew noted this is an outstanding task for him to review the GPA and Privacy Policy and then work with Mark and Colin on next steps.

Andrew noted that this is a standing topic to discuss how to increase and extend engagement and try to keep an eye out for the health of the groups. Open question to the LC regarding any support or reinforcement needed of any kind.

Mary and Mark addressed issues that are bogging down the CISWG spec work, looking for advice and recommendations from the LC. Informal peer-to-peer discussion was held.It was recommended that groups have a single chair only focus on group management and not focused on the content to help maintain balance. It was noted to create a standing item to collect group and conversation management techniques.It was also noted that Roberts Rules are a great way to keep order.

eGov is struggling a bit with time zones.

The FIWG currently has three chairs, however Ping is not renewing their membership so this may need to be revisited. Work in the FIWG is going well.

In general those on the call feel that there is no increase in participation.

UMADEV

Eve reported that there is not much of an update since last time. Working on compiling all the software that exists. It is to early for an UMA conformance program however not to early for interop activity. Funds were not allocated by the Kantara Board, instead there was agreeance to try for the KIPI funding. It has been concluded that it is to early for this group to go for that funding as it is to top down. There may be an opportunity in the future.

CISWG

Andrew noted that the first editor/reviewer has provided comments on the spec.Mark noted that right now there is a focus on implementation.There has also been great progress on the user submitted term side.

Actions:

1. Continue tracking and planning to do a webinar in early fall for Consent Receipt
2. Continue tracking and planning to do a webinar in early fall for User Terms

IAWG

Andrew is finalizing the statement of requirements RFP. Ken reported that IAWG is consolidating comments made by participants during a bi-weekly discussion concerning the new version of NIST SP800-63. Also noting that after public comment and IPR Review, the IAWG has approved the IAF 1400 Service Assessment Criteria Version 4.6.0 as a Draft Recommendation. The next step after LC approval is an all member ballot.

OTTOWG

Mike reported that the group has picked up the pace. The current proposal was moved to the first page on github. OTTO has provides solutions on how do you query metadata and how do you handle inter-federation. The next release of Glue Server is targeted for November 1 and also release the OTTO server. Targeting the first of the year for a first spec draft and first implementation.

Action:

• Add to the next newsletter article: what is OTTO and what are they working on. Content to be provided by OTTOWG.

BSCDG

Eve reported that there has been six meetings thus far; they meet twice weekly for a half hour for a six month period. The group plans to deliver a report at the end of that time that offers recommendations and observations to Kantara regarding solving use cases for empowering traditionally disempowered parties (such as individuals) to "contract and transact" e.g. with parties that traditionally hold greater power (such as companies and large countries), given the new landscape of decentralization and distributed technologies and techniques targeted to solving such use cases and their mixture with identity. The group is focusing on use cases around transacting and contracting with the primary goal being to recommend and make observations to Kantara with a secondary goal to help a larger community make sense of all this.

Action:

• Jim Hazard to create a blog post for Kantara on the Blockchain work.

Review Andrew reminded everyone to review your WG/DG charter, ensure you update the date.

Every Andrew also reminded everyone that each WG/DG should produce at least one Report or Recommendation each year.something every year (report, recommendation etc.)

BoD Liaison Report & Action Requests

2017 Budget Planning: all Project funding for 2017

• All budget requests are due by the end of September.

Kantara Publications and IP

• Andrew noted that there is no Kantara content library

• which is a missing piece within Kantara. This goes along with the prior topic that each WG/DG needs an output each year.

Document Repo Structure

Eve noted document editing is a manual process and can be improved. There also isn't a great way to publish final reports and publications, At the end of the day what matters is that all the final published documents are organized into directories/folders in a consistent manner in a consistent place. Open ID Foundation is a good example for a structure. Eve presented a screen share as she walked thru her thoughts.
