Hello everyone
...
As we gather our strength for the re-start of the conference circuit through till year's end, I do hope that you had a break over the northern hemisphere summer, got some skiing done in the south, and are poised for what is about to descend upon us. Take a look at the sheer spread of events that Kantara is speaking at on our Events page here - and while on the subject of events, Kantara has been offered complimentary passes to give to 5 lucky members for IDENTITY WEEK ASIA, 8-9th October 2019 at Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore. These passes are valued at $1000 so even if you are not yet a member, and reside nearby or are visiting during that period, join now and save!
As reported last last month Kantara staff have updated the the website and wiki over the summer (I hope you do see those subtle changes!) while fielding increased expressions of interest for the assurance program in particular.
...
It's not only Staff that have been working hard. The Working Groups have been meeting largely as normal over the summer. UMA has continued to develop it its business-legal framework (thank you Eve, Tim Reiniger and all active participants), Consent & Info Sharing is updating its charter ) planning new deliverables and working on others (thank you Jim, Iain, Lisa, John, Andrew, Mark, Mary and all active participants), while Identity Assurance and Healthcare Identity Assurance have both been contributing comments on draft documents from other industry and government bodies (thanks you Ken, Martin, Pete, Mark, Tom, Barry). To give you a sense of the depth and breadth of IAWG's contributions in particular, the 'Keeping up with Kantarians' email newsletter coming out mid-month in September will highlight this Group's selfless efforts 'to lift all boats' in helping other government and industry consortia efforts for their customers we collectively serve. That is the essence of Kantara's mission and the ethics and ethos it steadfastly holds to.
