Minutes & Notes
Current draft of all member ballot announcement:
This is an All Member Ballot to determine if and how the Kantara
Initiative should join the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in
Cyberspace (NSTIC - http://www.nist.gov/nstic/) program as a member
organization.
The Kantara Initiative Board of Trustees has resolved NOT to have the
Kantara Initiative take a leadership position in the NSTIC. Such
involvement could be considered a conflict of interest given how
Kantara's Certification and Accreditation Programs could form a part of
the NSTIC program at some future stage.
Many Kantara members will expect to participate and vote in the NSTIC program through their own organizations rather than Kantara. The current NSTIC bylaws are unclear on Kantara members being allowed to become voting NSTIC members if Kantara becomes a NSTIC member. The decision for Kantara to join NSTIC is predicated on the clarification of the NSTIC bylaws to allow for separate membership for Kantara members.
This ballot asks two questions:
1 - Should the Kantara Initiative participate in the NSTIC program as a
Member Organization?
2 - If yes, what stakeholder group should the Kantara Initiative
identify with? (14 options)

The ballot closes on July 27, 2012 at 23:59 UTC.
This ballot is open to all Members of the Kantara Initiative. Decisions
will be made based on simple majority.
