Minutes

1. Roll call & minute approval
  • Roll was called and is reflected here . Quorum was not met, so approval of past minutes was delayed until a subsequent meeting.
2. Kantara-fication of IAF

Summary: Britta reported that documents have been updated in accordance with the approved document hierarchy and are available in the drafts folder for review. Thus far this represents breaking the IAF into four pieces: 1) Overview , 2) Glossary , 3) Levels of Assurance , and 4) Service Assessment Criteria (SAC) . Updates to the first three documents are primarily structural in nature and are being updated only because of the move from Liberty Alliance to Kantara Initiative and the desire expressed in the group to break the master document into several smaller documents. The SAC document does have a few recommended changes from the ARB in response to the ICAM application and are thus noted in the redline version of the SAC.

  • Richard T. is leading the WG's review of the SAC changes and will report to the group. All are encouraged to review all of the documents and submit feedback to the list serve. Goal to bring the first three documents to vote soon since they represent only structural updates.
3. Federation Operators Guideline Kickoff

Summary: Rich F. reported that he has worked from Peter Alterman's contribution and, given lots of recent uninterrupted time on long flights, he will have a draft to share with the group by the end of this week. The group looks forward to working on this document, standardizing on terminology, etc.

4. AOB
  • Group discussed question raised by Britta as to if documents should reflect all of the potential types of assessments to be conducted or only those that are currently done or in development (ie. Federation Operators). It was decided the documents should only reflect all current and planned documents, but that the further out ones (ie. Service Approval Authorities) should be denoted as "future work item."
