(Deferred due to no representation)

• E-Ballot for Advanced Notice and Consent Receipt WG - watch for document for review and eBallot
  
  • Some discussion about the charter...

Request from FIRE WG:

The FIRE WG would like to propose an extension to Kantara’s Trust Registry with a focus on the Office of National Coordinator (ONC) of the HHS federal agency. The document, to be evaluated for publication, would be posted as a link on Kantara web site https://trustregistry.org/ focusing on provisioning a Mobile Authentication Assurance Statement (MAAS) initially targeting healthcare providers and Mobile Driver’s License issuers.

Once approved, a proposal will be made to the Education Foundation to request funding from the ONC to implement a set of tests with healthcare participants and then a full secure trust registry web site.

• LC discussed this proposal but lack required details
• Questions raised:
  • The trustregistry.org site makes references and asserts links and endorsements from Kantara Initiative - these must be agreed to by both parties - today these references are not approved yet
  • In 2020 the FIRE WG requested server resources to host what sounds like the trustregistry.org site
  • LC is supportive of this effort but requires a better understanding of the intention - this understanding is required so that LC can best provide resources and support

• Ken Klingenstein suggests that LC invites a guest speaker regularly (Postscript: touch-points to other Groups within and maybe outside Kantara) - a good idea!
  • We should restructure LC calls so that the first 30 minutes are for open discussion and then continue after with regular LC business. (Postscript: 10mins intro, 10 mins discussion, 10mins Q&A).
  • Jim P to take the lead on organizing this
  • Andrew suggests calling it "LC Speaker's Corner" to be discussed.
  • First speaker: Alec Laws with an UMA-adjacent topic at the February 2021 LC call

UMA WG and Origo/UK Pensions Dashboard

• Colin gave an update on the situation with licensing UMA v2.x for reference by UK Pensions Dashboard in an upcoming invitation to tender. Origo had contributed a profile of UMA 2 to the UMA WG in 2020. There are intellectual property and licensing discussions ongoing in detailed and complex ways due to risk aversion by public sector bodies. Colin is engaging and proposing possible solutions to this conundrum.
• The Board is discussing actively.
