Minutes

  1. Roll Call for Quorum Determination
    • 5 of 15 voting members: quorum not reached.
    • AI: The Secretary reminds reps to let her know the "alternate rep" for their groups in cases where they have co-chairs rather than a formal Chair and Vice-Chair.
  2. Approval of prior meeting minutes
    1. Please review: Leadership Council Teleconference - 2009-07-29
      • Deferred due to lack of quorum.
  3. WG / DG updates: ULX
    1. Progress Update: User Login Experience Work Group
      1. Discussion
      2. Set date for vote [Trent]
        • The proposal mentions three equal co-chairs, representing different protocols/approaches.
        • The goal is to drive design based on "what works".
        • A minor comment was made that "user login experience" is used incorrectly on the wiki where it should be "universal login user experience".
        • A comment was made that the duration should be a little less vague. The effort appears to be ongoing, rather than of some firm duration. Paul will consider this.
        • It was questioned why no contributions are anticipated to be made; Paul reports that this was intentional to start with a clean slate.
        • Several people commented that sometimes the best solution is not to make the user log in, and that some authentication and digital-signing experiences don't involve "logging in". Discussion ensued, with the concluding comment that a more precise scope (e.g. listing registration processes as in scope or out of scope) would be helpful in the long run.
        • It was suggested that looking at the IdP Selection charter for tips, and listing that group as a potential liaison, would be helpful.
  4. Event Task Force Update [Dervla]
    1. Please Review: LC Agenda
      • The networking options for the meeting rooms were reviewed; the suggested option is two wired drops in each room; Dervla will summarize this tentative decision to the LC list.
      • A dinner evening is being planned.
  5. More WG / DG updates:
    1. Reminder of deadline for Founding Charters [Trent]
      1. Submission: August 15th
      2. Vote: September 14th at DIDW
    2. Placeholder for other WG / DG items
      • Founding group chairs were reminded to get their charters to the Secretary ASAP.
      • The Healthcare ID Assurance charter might be submitted for acceptance by the end of the week; they are considering having several co-chairs.
      • The charter of the eGov WG has been accepted, and the LC should discuss it next week.
  6. Board of Trustees Update [Colin, Conor]
    • The special review board's charter was approved as written, though with a rider asking for a small list of changes.
    • A "sobering" budget discussion was held; 2009 looks good but there are questions about 2010, which puts special emphasis on the upcoming budget discussions.
    • Since projections are based on membership signups, and the signup period is still pretty new, LC members were exhorted to contribute to Kantara member recruitment efforts.
  7. Work Group Officer Ballots Update [Eve]
    • The secretary and staff had worked up some guidelines for how to do secret ballots, and two groups (P3 and ID Assurance) are using it, along with choosing to do a secret nomination process as well.
    • Rather than a specific "ballot" alias for the purpose, we're using the regular "staff" alias. If this becomes a problem later, it can be changed.
  8. Teleconference Usage Update [Trent]
    • The Chair solicits feedback on how the teleconference system is working.
  9. Appoint members to Budget Preparation Committee [Trent]
    • There is a "finance policy" document (one of KI's controlling documents mentioned in Section 3.1 of the Bylaws) that defines a budget preparation committee, which needs to be formed by the LC.
    • Treasurer, ED, and at least one of the BoT reps to the LC must be on the committee, plus any other members the LC wants to put on it. The Treasurer chairs the committee.
    • The LC needs to figure out how it wants this committee staffed.
    • It was noted that the LC ultimately votes on budget requests, so all LC members do get a say at some point. Committee members have a more active role.
