<a name="1">MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT</a>
		</h2>
<p>Kantara  Initiative had a very successful inaugural meeting co-located at the DIDW in  Las Vegas. The Board of Trustees (BoT),  Leadership Council (LC) and many Work Groups (WGs) discussed deliverables and scope  of work moving forward. You can review  the current formed groups and minutes from these <a href="http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/dashboard.action">groups</a> below  for updates from the meeting.</p>

<p>In addition,  the recent formation of an Oversight Board to look at expanding the Interop  program is underway. The third Liberty Interoperable  full-matrix web-based testing event administered by the Drummond Group Inc.,  and the first event to test products against the new eGovernment SAML 2.0  profile v1.5 recently released by Liberty Alliance took place allowed vendors  to participate from anywhere in the world. The summers full-matrix testing  event included more vendors than ever before, reflecting the worldwide demand  among enterprises and governments for SAML 2.0 identity-enabled solutions that  have proven to interoperate. Organizations  can count on Liberty Interoperable for products that have proven to meet  interoperability requirements today and over the long-term as the program moves  to expand within Kantara Initiative to test against additional identity  standards and protocols.</p>
<p>Please stay  tuned for location and dates for our next Kantara Initiative meeting estimated  March/April 2010. We are looking for sponsors for upcoming  meetings for Kantara Initiative. There  are two &quot;RFPs&quot; that describe our requirements - one RFP is&nbsp;for a  smaller&nbsp;venue for the Board of Trustees and Leadership Council.&nbsp; The  second is for a larger meeting that would accommodate the BoT, LC as well as  several work groups. Please contact dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org with  questions. </p>
