Discuss 2012 LC Goals

Pete Palmer wishes to set a goal of getting a total of 5 assessors on board, 3 new, during this calendar year, stating that FICAM recognition of framework needs to be official. Per Pete, there’s going to be an uptick in doctors prescribing controlled substances, many vendors are retooling their systems, and assessors will need to assist. Pete stated he believes this is going to be a big year for the initiative, that the interoperability piece of Meaningful Use is ideal for what Kantara is setting out to do, and there is much applicability at the federal level. Pete also stated that the HIA WG's PIDS project will be extremely valuable. Fundraising efforts are also a goal for the group.

Joni reiterated the importance of membership recruitment, and that recruitment is an area where the LC and BoT could be a key support. Dervla and Joni are working on an outline of what those activities might look like with a goal of having a process in place that continues so Kantara has a way to keep track of interested parties and make the recruitment effort ongoing. Joni reminded the group that each member always has her permission to connect her to prospective members, and stated she wishes to have a queue of prospects that we continue to work on throughout the year.

Rich Furr wishes to set up a loosely structured “family gathering” in which all organizations that are cross certified in FICAM have the opportunity to share technology and ideas.

Pete recommended that any other ideas and goals be distributed to the mailing list.

WG Updates

Per Pete, the HIA WG has been focusing on and spent the majority of last year working on the PIDS Project. He went on to say there’s a good chance the WG will be able to present on it at this year’s HIMSS Conference, which may help with some of the fundraising efforts. The HIA WG is hoping to do a lot more with PIDS this year within our community.

Per Myisha, the IA WG is potentially looking at relying party guidelines, looking for potential sponsors, and has a robust agenda for the coming year.

Per Sal, the Attribute Management DG hopes to have, by mid-Feb, a DG report that discusses its findings and suggestions for a possible WG effort.

Per Eve, the UMA WG did a webinar on 12/14 that was well received. The WG is planning another webinar / technical deep dive soon. There have been at least 3 implementations of UMA, so the group would like to put together documentation for those implementations. The group is very active right now.

Per Bob Pinheiro, the Consumer ID WG hasn’t been active, though there was a vote recently to not stop the group as there will hopefully be more of a need in the future. The group will likely be shut down the group unless more interest in generated.

Per John Bradley, the Federation Interoperability WG is looking at SAML Interoperable deployment documents and focusing on mechanics for trust frameworks between federations.

BoT Liason Report

John Bradley stated the BoT hasn't met since before Christmas and there was nothing to report. He inquired as to whether Pete or Rich should replace him as the liason since he is no longer the LC co-chair. Pete and Rich will discuss offline.
