Exhausted but very very happy with the vibe and progress, we rest and recharge during July. That it's taken me 10 days to get this out bears testament to that. But to be fair on myself, Staff also use this time to review and refine the website and wiki, fine-tune our processes and plan the second half of the year and we are working through our list of 'to do's' that has built up over the last 6 months. Some changes are subtle changes but I we hope you notice them in due course and feel that they serve you better. Just Contact us so we can make it better for you. Remember
A final reminder to take a look at our 10th Anniversary Infographic and celebration video celebration video, Infographic and social Wall here, straight off the homepage of the website. There will be virtual cake cutting and actual cake cutting on or near the day. (scroll down).

- In further support of Kantara's Trust Framework Operations program and its NIST 800-63-3 Rev 3 Class of Approval, the US federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published its much awaited policy on identity credential and access management. It lays out the US federal government's expectations of agencies in this regard and the role of various stakeholders, with a strong emphasis on 63-3. As the Leadership Council chair observed, our 800-63-3 Rev 3 Class of Approval under the Identity Assurance Framework tangibly demonstrates Kantara's alignment - that *this* is the scarce resource that only Kantara can offer. In addition, the new memo makes it far easier to make the connection to a purchasing department requirement - both are the magic ingredients to selling approvals.
