Kay intends to move Kantara away from Virtual. She's looking for new company who can provide more services and at a better cost. Virtual currently handles the financesfinances, membership, and other areas. They did handle our wiki and website, but that's been turned over to our Kantara IT (Armin). Additionally, she is looking to not renew our contract with GTM and transition to Zoom, as people have requested. The GTM contract ends at the end of September, so the decision will be happening soon. The concern for regarding federal agencies has been investigated and the consensus being understanding is that classified meetings cannot be held via Zoom. Kay asked for any concern from within this group. After addressing functionality concerns and capabilities, the group was content with switching to Zoom.
Ruth has agreed to be on a contract contracted for a few hours a month to continue to provide support to make in making the transition as smooth as possible.

A There has been a lot of work around healthcare recently. We 're are partnered in the CARIN alliance. Additionally, Direct Trust has taken over Safe Identity this week. We had an MOU with Safe Identity but through the process, our agreements are not assignable with Safe Identity anymore. Kay has meetings scheduled to see how we move forward. TEFCA has a specific section on identity proofing and requires healthcare providers and their vendors have to be approved at several levels of assurance. Phil Lam is going to make some introductions to alert these groups that Kantara is available for this service.
