Discussion
  • FICAM TFPAP v2.1 split the CSP into several roles
  • This work is a response to FICAM TFS on the TFP proposal on how to map TFPAP requirements to those new roles
  • This should help to ensure alignment and cross-recognition between TFP applicants and approved service providers
    • i.e. If two different approved service components are approved by different FICAM TFPs, they should be allowed to apply for FICAM approval directly
    • The assessor would only have to examine the 'glue' requirements that are not part of one or the other role
  • Review the "FICAM Requirements Spreadsheet for IAWG Processing 111214.xls"
    • This work serves the immediate needs for FICAM TFS and the TFPs - there are longer term objectives still to be addressed
  • Comment: the requirements on the T M tab appear to be related to components other than the T M 
  • Question: are there requirements that applied to both IM and T M
    • A: The terms in the text were updated to the new meanings before mapping
  • Comment: This analysis is being done in the context of Kantara and SAFEBioPharma only. FICAM TFS would need to incorporate this into future versions of TFPAP to have best effect.
  • Comment: The next step is for the TFPs to map their own criteria to this component mapping
    • One approach: from the bottom up, the 'Receiving' assessor should act as the glue & use the already-assessed criteria as input into the final assessment of the combined entity (and so would not double-assess any entity)
      • i.e. from the full list of criteria, the assessor should exclude those criteria that are already in scope for the Service Component Approval from the other TFP
    • Another approach: from the top down, once approved by FICAM as a service component, by definition that SC's policies and practices are equivalent/comparable under any other FICAM Approved TFP
    • In either case, FICAM must be satisfied that the applicant meets the FICAM TFS TFPAP requirements in total
  • Comment: There is a difference between an IM satisfying FICAM requirements versus satisfying a TFP's requirements
  • The key point is that FICAM Approval is against the TFPAP list of Trust Criteria - not the individual TFPs criteria
  • Downside - the spreadsheet only applies to FICAM Approvals
    • Kantara has criteria that go beyond FICAM Trust Criteria
    • If Kantara is the only TFP, it uses its full range of criteria
    • If a Service Component is accepted from another TFP, there's no certainty that all Kantara criteria have been satisfied - only those criteria that meet FICAM criteria
  • This distinction might form part of a Kantara roadmap activity to extend more globally
  • Note that this exercise does not create a strictly-defined Profile since it excludes criteria rather than constraining
  • Proposal: use email as the primary comment/feedback method; call an ad hoc meeting on Wednesday if needed
    • Plan to present to FICAM at Thursday November 20 monthly call
  • Discussion about presentation format ensued
