Executive Director/Staff Update

• Colin Wallis noted that since the last call things are looking up with the first transfer of money from ISTO being completed this week.
• Colin reported that the Virtual PR team is working with Kantara on the upcoming events. Kantara may be sponsoring an event that will provide Kantara with awareness opportunities.
• New members ramping up - more details to come on the next call.
• CCICADA program going well; lots of working groups participating.
• Potential liaison opportunity with other consortia/organizations being discussed.
• Off-cycle informal Board meeting tomorrow, all are invited.
• There will be a face-to-face Board meeting in Munich on Monday, May 9 followed by Kantara's workshop on Tuesday, May 10.

Voting

• IAWG has approved IAF-1401 (Meeting Minutes) and submits to LC for endorsement vote. IAF-1401 is a spreadsheet version of the IAF-1400 Service Assessment Criteria v4.0. It is non-normative and should be considered guidance for users of the IAF. The report is attached to this page.
• Upon the LC vote the document can be published as a report on the Kantara website.
• A motion was made by Ken Dagg to move forward with publishing IAF-1401, motion seconded by Pete Palmer. There being no objections the motion carried.
• Action Item: Ken Dagg to coordinate the publication of the report.

Discussion on 'innovation' ideas for DGs

RP DG: Thinking about gathering a set of requirements that Relying Parties need CSPs to meet. Current Service Assessment Criteria are designed from the point of view of audtiors and CSPs. The area of requirements has been of interest to Gov't of Canada since they became involved in Kantara. Idea is to start a RP Discussion Group to discuss the requirements. Some of the work already done by eGov would help kick start the discussion. The rollout of the EMV might be an opportunity to leverage the discussion. Another potential entry point would be trust frameworks. Possibly invite CSP’s customers to the groups; create a membership campaign with aggressive tactics. In the style of "member-get-a-member" campaigns.

HIA WG: the WG will be focusing on the patient identity ecosystem. Focusing on discovery and directories. 200 patients a day die from misidentification, that's a "flight a day".

IDM Professional Association: is it time for Kantara to create this association? Build a body of practice knowledge for practitioners. It is likely this association will start, should it be Kantara?

Trust Services in EU: Starting to look at Trust Frameworks Interoperability; an area to keep an eye on. Will consent receipts add value to Trust Services? How would this transition through a conformance program?

Update on Group IP Analysis Project

Status update on Covenant-style agreement

• Background: Trust Services and Connected Life by IPR on spreadsheet (please find this document here: Working Drafts)
• Per Colin Wallis there is no further progress to report on right now.

UMA Dev Project

Eve reported that the group is working on the CCICADA white paper proposal. She isn't sure that the UMA Dev WG has formally requested funds from Kantara at this point. An outline is complete with a rough draft being fleshed out over the month of April. It was suggested that Mark may be able to share his white paper and feedback with Eve.

CIS Project

Mark reported that CISWG placed funding requests for Real Consent & Consent Receipt; awaiting funds. He also reported that the CCICADA project received feedback today. The MVCR was not well explained, needs more.

Regarding the funding, Mark noted that the WG doesn't have the resources to do what they are trying to do, will need to make a decision to work on one profile for a Consent Receipt or work on a larger specification for a Consent Receipt.

IAWG Project

Ken reported that the group is developing a Statement of Requirements for professional resources. If approved by the IAWG this will be routed through the Leadership Council first for approval prior to the Board's review/approval.

UMA Legal Project

Eve noted that the UMA Legal project is the development of model definitions and model clauses to accelerate prep frameworks. UMA was asking for funding to help an "IDE" to assemble or create the clauses or clauses that exist. Ken noted that this funding has been approved.

Eve also noted that this ties into a conference event that UMA is involved called Digital Contracts, Identities and Blockchain at MIT on May 23-24, 2016. Hardjono, Hazard, Maler are leading the event. The event is invite only, however, if registrations don't reach the max Eve will supply the details. This may be an event for Kantara to "sponsor". Eve will send the details to Colin and Andrew.

Andrew noted that we are continuing with the bullet point updates on the LC wiki. These brief points can be posted by yourself or send them to Andrew for posting.

UMAWG

• Eve reported that UMAWG has a 2016 roadmap which is exciting, maybe disruptive. Shows that this is a vibrant technical space. 
• She noted that the Conformance program discussion is alive. And Roland Hedberg, on behalf of HEART, is implementing a test suite for UMA (security profile).

CISWG

• Mark reported that they are getting ready for IIW. The group is under-resourced right now for some of their ambitions of the MVCR (Minimum Viable Consent Receipt) spec. The goal is to have a push and call to action for the conformance profile which can be used for the test use case (online consent).
• A big driver is the User Submitted Terms and what is happening with Customer Commons at IIW. The group is interested in a couple of use cases.
• Mary noted that there are a number of folks in the group with entities who would like to do pilots which would be significant.
• Mary is now the active Chair for this quarter.
• Lots of EU interest for MVCR for GDPR.

HIAWG

• Ken reported that Hannah from CERN is presenting to IAWG tomorrow.

eGov

• Colin reported that the eGov activity is currently focused on elections and the code of conduct for Relying Parties.
• David Kelts (MorphoTrust) has joined the group.
• InCommon plans to contribute their Interop profile.
• eGov did the deployment profile several years ago; the idea is to bring the eGov elements into the InCommon profile.

Great to have members involved in upcoming events.
