The ARB held a joint Assessors/ARB call on Monday, November 15. Martin and Ken attended on IAWG's behalf as observers. There seems to be some back and forth between the ARB and the IAWG about who should be driving the format of these needed changes on the various forms. Martin felt there was a consensus for more guidance to both assessors and applicants in written form. He did not hear a request for any extra requirements within the criteria that would further hold-up the current package of changes. There is a need for additional discussion between the IAWG and ARB to determine what needs done and which party is responsible for the task.
Other Business:
IAWG Charter & Nominations for Chair, Vice-chair & Secretary - We can vote on the charter at the next meeting. Please review by then to determine if any changes are needed. In terms of nominations, please send nominations and justification to Ken, Martin & Lynzie. Ken is willing to continue to take on chair unless someone wants to step in. Duties include running these meetings, attending LC meetings and LC planning meetings, being a liaison to the ARB when required, and to act as the LC rep to the Board of Directors (if requested by LC). Martin is also willing to continue on as vice-chair unless someone else wants to step in.
Martin asked people to consider quantum computing. It's coming really fast! It will effect how controls are done - so something to think about. Jimmy mentioned NIST had a presentation for federal agencies awhile back that they might still have for our use. NIST is working on quantum resistance protocols - the target is to be done early next year.
DIACC has just issued two documents for review. One is the verified person conformance the other is the privacy component. We've seen both before. Due date is December 17. Ken will circulate to the list and we can decide at the next meeting if we want to respond.
The next IAWG meeting will be Thursday, December 2 at 1pm EST.
Topics for that meeting will include discussing concrete ways and actions we can take to help expedite the completion of component services, reviewing the IAWG charter and nominations, and the decision on the DIACC request.
