- Encouraging liaison opportunities between the Identity Community and the Kantara Initiative Work Groups and Discussion Groups.
- Encouraging participation and liaison activities with the ICMI-DG by leveraging teleconferences, discussion lists, blog postings, podcasts, and other communication tools.
- Flagging for various Kantara Initiative projects when potential synergies appear within the Identity Community landscape.
- Maintaining a list of Identity Community events and, where appropriate:
- suggest speakers from the Identity Community for Kantara Initiative events,
- suggest Kantara Initiative speakers for Identity Community events, and
- support the execution of affiliated Identity Community events.
- Providing an interface point for the Kantara Initiative outreach projects (e.g. marketing efforts) to solicit input for communications (e.g. collateral materials and contributed articles) from the Identity Community.
