Hello everyone
...
- the scope doubled to incorporate personal data privacy vs the single focus on digital identity that Kantara originally started with,
- the Kantara brand covers 4 entities (Kantara Inc, Kantara Educational Foundation, Kantara Europe and Kantara IDESG& IDESG's assets absorbed into Kantara) vs the single entity at the end of 2015,
- 6 contracted staff vs the original 3 (see below regarding the 6th staff contract that was signed a couple of weeks ago),
- the privacy enhancing consent receipt specification firmly entrenched in the ISO standardization process – the first ever for Kantara and very rare for any industry group,
- the personal agency enhancing UMA specification a fulcrum for OAuth 3.0/XYZ in IETF.
- the 2020 sustaining strategy firmly anchored in conformity assessment and assurance,
- Kantara Europe firmly entrenched in the European Commission’s H2020 R&D funding program,
- …and all the while, maintaining our ‘community commons’ ethics and ethos of low/no barriers to participation.

And last but most certainly not least, I am delighted to announce that Andi Hindle – Kantara member & UMA WG aficionado, Identiverse event producercontent chair, subject matter identity expert and all-round good guy – is our 6th staff contractor. He takes up the new role of Kantara’s UK Ambassador to progress Kantara’s footprint in the UK, complementing Chris Healy in a similar position in Washington DC.
