Meeting Notes 

Administrative Items:

IAWG Chair Andrew Hughes called the meeting to order.  Roll was called. Meeting was quorate. 

Minutes approval:   

Mark Hapner moved to approve the draft minutes from the October 27 IAWG meeting. Martin Smith seconded the motion. Motion carried with no objections. 

General Updates:

Reminder that KIBoD nominations are being accepted. You must be a member to run for a spot on the Board. Similarly, Chair and Vice-Chair roles for IAWG will be open for nomination soon. Those positions will represent IAWG on Leadership Council.

Kantara’s Annual General Membership Meeting will be held Wednesday, December 7 at 11am ET. Please watch for a calendar invitation with more information. Andrew is not available. Martin will represent the group at the meeting.

Assurance Updates:

The Joint Industry meeting with NIST has been postponed to December 9 at Venable Offices in DC pending release of the revision 4. The meeting is in person only at this point and does require proof of vaccination. The contact person is Sandy Day (SRDay@Venable.com). The NIST/IAWG meeting will come after that. Additionally, we’ll want to keep the meeting following the Venable meeting open as a debrief and discussion for those unable to attend. Currently that would be the December 15 meeting.

Misc:

Richard asked about the status of 17065. Kay confirmed it is happening in the UK and will ultimately come to the US but it is not likely to be before 2024. It will be socialized with this work group along with the ARB and assessors. Richard voiced some concerns for this transition.

Mark King asked where 17065 lands us with IAF. Andrew believes it puts us in the IAF umbrella once the UKAS process is completed.

Discussion:

Assurance Program Recommendations

Lynzie recapped the previous meeting for those that were not in attendance but there was some email discussions that needed to be brought back up to the whole group. The timeline suggested last week has not be added yet but the list of stakeholders was.

The definitions were discussed further. Andrew asked if we should supply language for CSPs to use to describe their trust mark/ approval. It hasn’t been contemplated but could be. Lynzie thinks that language can come through in the public service description edits to the S3A and the deliverables from the CSP and Kantara communication.

Andrew called for any final modifications to the report. None were made. This is the final text.
Richard will input background on the difference between the Assurance Program vs. the IAF as part of the background section of the report.  

Andrew moved to accept this report as the IAWG recommendation for updates to the Kantara IAF and relevant controlling documents. Michael Magrath seconded. The motion was Approved.

Any Other Business

We will meet next week, November 10, to discuss the charter updates and any planning for 2023.

IAWG leadership keeps an action item list.
All IAWG participants should be aware that the spreadsheet exists and that it lists everything we think the IAWG is working on or planning to work on. Please feel free to review it and correct it if needed - it is not our intent to overlook something!
