Minutes & Notes

Action Item Review

Administration

Quarterly Reports

See Quarterly Reports

Quarterly Reviews keep being overdue - when the quarterly reports format was developed, it had a couple o f purposes: 1 - to help the LC determine if a WG/DG had gone dormant, 2 - to provide a way to give status updates per quarter on the achievements per group

Can we repurpose quarterly reports that still serves the original purposes but helps more with the marketing and informative spin?

• it is a fine idea to gather additional information, it doesn't have to be quarterly; a wiki page seems to be harder for people to use, so maybe there is a higher-agility way to get status shared?
• Could we have a training session for the Chairs to help describe the tools?
• What about an open survey to the chairs that they could fill out when they want plus get reminded regularly?  That would also end up putting the responses in an exportable format for someone to be able to use the information for marketing
• Some of the elements in the current request is data that needs to be looked up, which could create a hitch in responses (i.e., list subscribers, number of quorate meetings); admins or others could always look some of that up themselves by going to the Rosters
• Types of questions:
  • What have you accomplished?
  • What are you planning?
  • What would you like to highlight in your group?

Executive Director report

Many of the items to be covered will fall under BoT Liaison report and Event Planning

Technical issues: we had a number of technical issues recently as part of an attempted server upgrade, which put a delay in the creation of the Internet of Things DG; those have been resolved so we will be sending out the call for participation and various announcements shortly

LC and BoT submitted their comments to the FTC re: a IoT conference this fall

Report on LC leadership election

1. To be reported out by Heather next week when she returns from TNC2013
2. Secretary appointment - skipped

Discussion

New work items

• new Identity of Things DG - announcement to go out shortly
• Joni and Heather are working on examining existing work flow within Kantara to figure out how to make things run more smoothly; focusing on Strategy and Culture setting of Kantara; others (up to 12 total) are welcome - tentatively July 20-21
• Allan Foster on his way to the Michigan Health Information event and will be talking about Kantara, security, and privacy in general
• a lot of good work is going on in Kantara, and would like to make sure how to help the organization understand where the funding and PR opportunities might be
  • Suggest we have a good old Kantara Plenary meeting

Internships / Volunteers

• the reason Internships is showing up on the agenda is tied to an earlier item, Secretary appointment; staff has been filling in on a number of groups that do not have a secretary; students could be a potential natural fit, those who are interested in standards, internet privacy and policy; this thinking has led in to thinking about networking in to Universities and anywhere that has students
  • Joni has reached out to Rutgers who has asked for a scope statement; also working with the IEEE to reach out to their network of students
  • Could we get members who are active today to take these roles, or is the LC supportive of the idea of student internships?
  • A school with an eGov department would be a great outreach point

Marketing and Outreach

Event Planning

• potential Kantara plenary: LC is a representative sample of all the work groups and so should have a good idea on when we could have a Plenary; it would also be good to do a European meeting, so maybe something around the RSA EU?  Joni to send out an Event Planning radar list and help determine consensus on the next Kantara Plenary meeting
• Kantara community calendar is meant to have every event possible in our space, whether or not Kantara is active there or not; the Event Radar list is meant more of a tool for the LC and BoT to target events and initiative; we do not have an Event Planning staff, we are trying to stand up a Marketing committee, and if we are going to make a push in to these events to take advantage of PR and potential visibility, we need to approach event planning more from the member perspective but also strategically on where and how the different WG want to target announcements about their work

WG Updates

• HIA WG - revising the mission and charter of the WG; new mission is more advocacy and education - there is so much happening in the health care space that one item in progress is operationalizing the MOU between DirectTrust.org and Kantara; using the New York e-Health collaborative as the test case; they are mandating that when groups are on-boarded, that on-boarding event will be respected by DirectTrust and Kantara; hope to extend this to other initiatives; hope to document this in HealthCare IT News or some other forum
• AIM WG - going through submissions from various members in the group, input from Ken Klingenstein and Ken Dagg; WG Chair is in the process of examining the gaps identified in the previous Attribute DG and how that effects our current charter; after that is done we will have a re-alignment and go forward from there
• TelCo WG - there is an issue here because there is less participation; they hope they can finish their document, which has all the parts but now need an editor to finish pulling it all together; after the document is finished, the group will likely close; Joni has some contacts and ideas that may help bring this to closure, and will be invited to the next call
• IDoT DG - next step is to get out the announcements and call for participation
• IA WG - several sub groups going, on on the Agile IAF concept, another reviewing the initial Glossary updates, another group working with Richard Wilsher on a review of the latest NIST 800-63 update
• eGov - drifiting a bit at the moment; much of the work is still in other places; Ken's credential assurance guidelines (Canada) has been reviewed; immediately after rechartering intended to look at an eGov SAC as a baseline to give to IAWG - still intending to do that but hasn't really gotten started though the work from Canada is good motivation to continue on with that
• FI WG - working on metadata and understanding where the different metadata aggregation initiatives will interact; there is the OIX Metadata of Metadata at IdP levels, there is the Kantara effort
• InfoSharing WG - looking at a survey as to why people do what they do in providing information online, when do they lie, when do they trust the SP enough to provide real information; consent terms that will beo on the InfoSharing label are under discussion; Nat Sakimura working on the graphics
• CloudIDSec WG - group still trying to organize a call schedule, and the group will start with a generalized white paper before taking that to identity in the cloud
• UMA - highly active at the moment; the protocol is settle enough that now they can leverage enterprise use cases even those solving the user-centric use case was the initial and hardest use case; there are an ecosystem of people taking notice, and the group is trying to be very responsive to whatever is needed to support adoption; putting emphasis on interop activities in the fall time frame, and in doing so returning to spec work since implementers are starting to return issues; case study of access management of 2.0 - there is even a spread on LinkedIn at this point; there are several use cases that need profiling and use cases such as:
  
  • healthcare related use cases
  • higher education use cases
  • optimization opportunities when used with OpenID Connect
