2. Budget Update - John Bradley

Update on IAWG Budget Request:

  • Assurrance program has not brought the money expected.
  • Kantara budget is running at a deficit. Board is raising fees and putting together fund raising events to move budget into the black.
  • BoT approved 35k budgets (Program funding vs. WG budgets)
  • 5k for trust framework agreements and 10k further in matching funds for creating profiles. (Need to see "skin in the game" from outside organizations in the community...)
  • WG money has not been specifically earmarked in the ledger---decisions now lie with the LC.
  • Milestone: get a customer certified; ideally 3-4 IDPs certified and 3-4 assessors...
  • The work group agrees the roadmap must align with traction in the marketplace...

3. AOB — "Customer Traction"

  • Patrick — discussed the need definition for credentialed service providers in the UK...
  • Frank — discussed the need to make an impact at the customer level and keep a refined scope to avoid having minimal impact due to having too broad a scope.
  • Neil--- Work in the UK Internal Cabinet is under-resourced. Until that changes, the UK won't be leading a coordinated approach to the EU commission on this front as it's largely disconnected from other agencies.
  • Frank---If all the UK entities have an interest, Frank proposes that Kantara reaches out to one of those, ask them to commit funds and IAWG will develop a profile. Prioritize making that entity a customer.

Pipeline of customers to approach in 2011:

  • Which community should we target and what are the ripple effects of our engagement:  law enforcement? health? defense space?
  • Frank: We lack sales collateral.  What is Kantara's Strategic Value? Immediate value? Why invest in Kantara Initiative?
  • Collateral: flow chart, overview, IAF Map....
  • Value proposition of the Kantara TrustMark---outside complaint doesn't lie with Kantara, but with the priciness of the assessor at this moment.
  • Value is in interoperating with federations, not so much with the "brand" of Kantara... How do we sell the brand?

Frank's call to action: prioritize work stream for sales collateral

  • explanation of how IAF fits into the larger trust frameworks,
  • power point presentation summary of the value proposition of the Kantara program for Trust Frameworks
  • illustrate the actors and how they interact
  • sponsor a participant or customer..

ACTION ITEM 20110105-01 FRANK ---*18th Jan 2011 Collateral Materials

  • Kantara / IAWG emails Patrick with [1] Kantara Value Proposition and [2] approach
  • 3rd pc would be Kantara's requests of BBFA? Or suggestion of how to work with Kantara to achieve "x"... by this partnership...

ACTION ITEM 20110105-02---Anna: to reach out to Richard Wilsher or Joni for the latest version of the IAF map
