Kantara eGov Working Group Teleconference

Date and Time

...

• Kyle was not on the call, so Colin repeated the schedule verbalised by Kyle at Las Vegas. In response to Bob's question, Colin said he expected the requirements gathering phase to begin in November, ending early in the New Year.  There will be a call for active participants who, as for V1.5, will form a sub group to drive the work forward.  Colin commented that V1.5 worked well, with DGI facilitating, the 3 governments contributing and Scott peer reviewing. Colin hoped that given the response to testing on v1.5 (MS, SAP, Siemens, Entrust, Ping, Oracle etc) that a press release will be needed to motivate wider interest from both vendors and government deployers.  Action 2009-10-07-2: Colin to work with Kyle on a publised timetable/schedule.
• Terry mentioned he wanted to see guidance on revocation in the next revision.
• Colin mentioned a problem statement submitted by Sverre Bauck (DIFI, Norway) regarding  regarding attributes in Certs (Postnote: and identifiers in eProcurement). He will circulate this for consideration by the eGov group, as either part of the eGov Profile V2 work or separate, after clearance from Sverre. Action 2009-10-07-3: Colin to expedite.

...

• Dependency on the GSA ICAM to publish profiles. IMI/IC done, and after discussion OpenID agreed was also publicly available. 
• Discussion on a press release announcing these profiles, aimed at other governments and the intended work of the KI eGov WG on creating international profiles of them and a call to governments planning to deploy, to get in touch. No decision made.
• Regarding IMI/IC Scott asked if government deployers had a general expectation that Microsoft would deprecate SAML 1.1 for SAML 2.0 (e.g metadata). Colin said the NZ Govt had that assumption and he believed that had already been communicated. Scott socialised the notion of a joint statement to this effect from interested government deployers. 
• Suggestion that the government of British Columbia may be deploying IMI. Action 2009-10-07-4: Colin and Bob to use their contacts to qualify this.
• Suggestion to approach the communities themselves. Action 2009-10-07-5: Scott to approach Drummond Reed of ICF re any knoen/intended eGov deployments of IMI/IC.

• On behalf of the group, Colin congratulated Soren-Peter for Denmark's great effort with the release of the OIO SAML spec suite.  Soren-Peter briefly summarised the motivation for the work, its content, and its future.
