Discussion

Charter Refresh

The current working version of the Value statement is:
"Kantara exists to develop and/or operate rules for operators of online services, enabling verification of  the trust layer providing high-value, privacy-preserving identity and access."

From the August 29 2013 call:

Chair called for topics needing coverage in the Charter:

• Need to include roles and responsibilities division between ARB and IAWG and LC for the IAF processes
  
  • Where does execution of processes for certification of credential providers live?
  • Joni planning a "Leadership deck" to help chairs to understand processes and their execution
  • Many of these processes are already defined in the Kantara Operating Procedures
• Need to reflect the firming up of the distinction between Kantara's Service Operations versus Kantara's Innovation divisions
• IAWG should be confirmed as the Subject Matter Expert pool that the ARB can draw on 
• ARB is the operational arm of the IAF
• ARB is not refreshing their charter at this time
• Stronger language needed in charter to keep IAF documents up to date
  
  • Difficult to keep document set current due to the nature of the documents. Focus in necessarily on the SAC.
  • Need to focus on low barriers to adoption and consumability by entities wishing to seek Approval - should not have to rely on experts to do basic interpretation of documents
• Further discussion needed to examine current IAF document set structure, areas needing refresh and perhaps extraction of non-core information.

Discussion 5 September 2013:

These bullets are instructions to the draft charter editor - they will be reflected in the working copy at 2013 IAWG Charter Refresh - Fall 2013 - markup working draft

• Align the draft charter text with the text in the glossary
• The 'communication' bullet is for the purposes of evolving the IAF; include an outreach and communication part
  
  • "Understanding the requirements of the marketplace and informing and influencing the marketplace"
• Determine equivalence of other TF schemes to the IAF; validate profiles that accommodate the other TF schemes; 
• Include 'sector and trade association' in the list
• Discussion of 'value added' by the existence of IAWG
  
  • the IAWG adds value by keeping the IAF current and responsive to the marketplace requirements - ensures that the certifications are usable and meaningful for inter-party transaction
• Need text describing the fact of multiple TF Schemes - the value add is the IAF - it brings together different TF schemes and multiple certifications
  
  • It is really the current "value statement" but in the IAWG terms and context
  • Need to state why we are unique, embedded, hard to copy 
  • Myisha to tackle this statement
• "The methods by which participants trust each other"
• Scope
  
  • in terms of roles and responsibilities in Kantara
    
    • support Kantara to foster adoption
  • subject area coverage
  • action and presence in the marketplace - do we exert our presence 'out there' - speaking on behalf of
  • marketplace interaction - inbound requirements vs outbound
  • services offered?
    
    • maybe: subject matter experts as it relates to the IAF - to other WGs - this might be roles and responsibilities
    • Support to KI business development in understanding IAF
    • analysis of equivalency
    • verification/validation of profiles
  • Customers 
    
    • The LC and the Board (includes sub-committees)
    • Board
      
      • IAWG represents the board to other TFPs (the other TFPs are not our customer)
  • Liaison
