Updates 

  • Colin said that later on today is the IMPACT SUMMIT series from GSA, the first one is Identity.
  • Directors at Large Seats at the Board Table for 2021 are available. Colin explained the reason that it was not extended to individuals is for the liability.
  • Colin mentioned that Jeremy Grant is offering to give Kantara a briefing on what he believes the current status and future plans are possible. 
  • Ken made a comment about the problems of Ontario, it is exploring the idea of a digital wallet to hold driver’s license health cards. They hope to have this in place in the next year, he thinks they are overly ambitious. He asked Colin if he hears on his next chat with Joni, he might ask her how that is proceeding, if they have any insight into it.

 

Complete the Kantara response for Scottish Government Digital Identity Scotland SAPS

  • Martin commented that this reads like a combination of a request for information from somebody who wants to acquire hardware or software, plus a little market research. It sounds like the Scottish government plans to be the service provider at least for the attribute store. Mark K. added that there are certainly elements of that. There is very vague enthusiasm for things without actually giving you something measurable. Colin agreed with Mark K. Martin remarked this is an acquisition document basically.
  • Ken mentioned it is called in the Canadian government "request for interest".
  • Martin raised another issue; do they see the actual end-users of all of the systems as being exclusively Scottish national? Mark K. responded it is rather national than Scottish.
  • Colin clarified it is due on Monday.
  • Mark K. explained that Richard did quite a lot of comments in the document, but not in a suitable format.
  • Colin asked if the IAWG members will have time to look at it before Monday.
  • There was no response to question 12. The answer was added to the first point during the meeting as “Kantara counts amongst its members the governments of the US, AU, NZ (those responsible for national digital identity systems) and none of them has an attribute aggregation enabled service”.
  • Colin suggested to write more in item 15.
  • Martin suggested that considering the 63-3 stuff that was just finished, if there is a Federation and the Federation Agreement imposes upon the Federation participants, checking that everybody who is there has the proper certifications; then there are some technological things that have to be done. Perhaps, that is an opportunity to work in.
  • Ken said that at this point in time, it may be premature and might confuse them.
  • Colin said there has not been any multi-language consideration here.
  • Ken will add something in 12.2.

  • There will be no IAWG meeting next week.
