Kantara Updates

Kay Chopard

• Board of Directors Planning Session - The focus was on maturity of the organization and strategic business planning regarding Kantara’s direction.  Questions included “Where is the market going?” “ What is the need?” “What are the things we could be doing?”

• New BoD in place - Changes: Maria Vachino stepped down.  Eve Maler and Mike Magrath are new board members.

• Conference proposals went out this month

• EU-US TTC WG-1 Digital Identity Mapping Exercise Report; feedback due 11:59PM ET, February 29, 2024

Andrew/Yehoshua

• No feedback other than emails from Mark King.

• Questions: 

  1. Should we process what we have so far and send in, or are there topics we need to focus on?

  2. Should we conduct a straight mapping or are there discussion gaps?

     1. Yehoshua notes that for the most part, the EU is less prescriptive than the US.  From the US perspective, we could let it play out.  The gaps are coming from the other side.

  3. Is there any mileage to sneak in comments of 800-63 rev 4 by commenting on this?

     1. Yehoshua notes this could make matters confusing, but it does provide insight into how they are thinking of certain issues. (Example: Address of Record and Binding)

• Mark King notes a meeting on February 22nd (note below) to discuss this in an open session and that it seems NIST Is matching things that don’t quite exist.  He sent a new submission with input from Richard Wilsher, but essentially the scope needs more definition.

• Kay - Just met with NIST, poses considering looking at definitions and that EU uses more international standards.  Could things be inserted into rev 4? 

• Group reminder: February 22, EU-US TTC WG-1 (Working Group 1) Webinar: Unpacking the Digital Identity Mapping Results (registration details coming soon)

• A final discussion will take place on February 15, 2024, and comments will be consolidated before the deadline on February 29, 2024.

• 2024 Charter available on the Wiki

Andrew/Amanda

Confirmed completion, notified LC.

• Address of Record Position: Wiki Link

  • Confirm next steps

Andrew/Yehoshua

Next Steps (See ACTION item as well):

1. February 8 IAWG - ask for a motion to approve.

2. If there are no objections, send to the ARB, recommending that we adopt this as Kantara’s stance.

3. If there are no objections, ask Kay to bring it to NIST as IAWG’s stance on Address of Record.

AOB: ISO standards/NIST/Kantara - ISO 29003 (identity proofing) 

Andrew

• ISO 29003 (identity proofing)  needs standardization at an international level.  Is this something we should pick up as an official work item to produce text/replacement/revision for ISO 29003?

  • Andrew to reach out to individuals to flesh out possible next steps and what the work would take shape as (i.e. rewrite from the ground up, restructure)

  • Revisit at end of February.
