We have a practical dependency on the completion of OAuth 2.0 and the rechartering effort. But in general, it seems we still are interested to have Kantara to be the home of a community that facilitates implementation and interop.

Given that our goal/desire is to finish incubating the UMA specs and contribute them to the IETF (if it will have them) by the end of the year, how should we see our role in 2012? Note that OpenID Connect is supposed to have its specs finalized within a couple of weeks. And "going to the IETF" is a crapshoot. We have a practical dependency on the completion of OAuth 2.0 and the rechartering effort. But in general, it seems we still are interested to have Kantara to be the home of a community that facilitates implementation and interop.
Discussing Kirk's UMA Interoperability Event Support proposal: Kirk suggests two or more events around the world. Jacek is one of the independent implementers. He has trouble with getting his own budget for F2F events, but could easily do virtual interops. What if we were to propose budget to host an interop at an existing external event (such as an OpenID Summit) that would be a good partner for UMA. Kirk notes that Google paid for someone to video-record some of the recent OpenID Summit sessions; we could try to get funding to capture and make more widely available such an event. The overall goal (similar to OpenID Summit itself) would be promoting UMA to potential developers and educating them, which is a little different from a strict interop goal. We could also target various European external events.
Discussing Kirk's UMA Benchmarking proposal: Kirk notes that Rolland Hedberg, who has done SAML interop and performance testing, has offered an OpenID endpoint for same. And Andrew Arnott offered something like this in early days for OpenID (e.g. you could click a link to see all the server activity, and then click to clear the status). Could we ask for support to build something like this, perhaps as a layer on top of an existing implementation like UMA/j or Jacek's Python implementation? A new SMARTAM version will be released soon with basic claims support, and they're doing some work with some external orgs.
Discussing Kirk's UMA 3rd Party Implementation proposal: We like the idea of focusing on OpenID Connect integration and developer-readiness of open source code.
