Kay intends to move Kantara away from Virtual. She's shopping looking for new company who can provide more services and at a better cost. Virtual currently handles the finances, membership, and other areas. They did handle our wiki and website, but that's been turned over to our 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 federal agencies has been investigated and the consensus being that classified meetings cannot be held via Zoom. Kay asked for any concern from this group. After addressing functionality concerns and capabilities, the group was content with switching to Zoom.

Kay addressed the resistance surrounding the UK government with some contacts in recent meetings. They acknowledged these were truths and explained with new people things will be different. The goal was to ensure they understood our resistance and they did acknowledge it. She has a meeting with another official next week and will continue the conversation.
Kay has been asked approached by a French organization (OSIA) to create a proposal to do a third party (1:19) assessment and -party assurance on open source standards. She's spoken to some people within Kantara about potentially expanding the assurance program . Kay but needs to talk with the assessors and do more research on if they want to start regarding their interest level in another line of business. Have a work. The informal proposal needs to be prepared for the OSIA board meeting at the end of this month so want to have the informal proposal together by then.. There is a call next week about interoperability between GSA (Phil) and New Zealand and Australia. Looking to find a way where CSPs don’t need They're looking to prevent CSPs from needing to do similar processes in different countries.
Mark King questions – will the French one be required to be done in French. Don’t believe so. And other question…. (look up) about parliamentary.Richard question – raised two questions - If Kay was referring to the AAPPG - if so, it seems like the right place to be in Parliament. And, will the OSIA work need to be translated to French? She doesn't believe so but we are having some language issues in other areas so it is a good question to have confirmed.
Richard raised a few other questions. Is OSIA trying to get something that would validate interfaces ? Or or more of a paper-based review? *look up answer* Some clarification would be well.
...
Kay would need to confirm but she believes it's more paper-based.
A lot of work around healthcare recently. We're 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.
Ken thanked Kay for the information and intelligence provided to the working group, as it helps with planning.
