Attended EIC last week, thanks to all the LC chairs who were able to join and present. Was seamless in-person despite the remote attendance. There are recordings of the pre-conference workshops available on the KuppingerCole website
There was some competition for attendees during the pre-conference workshop. Are there some ways we can better attract people to our session?
Spoke with some other non-profits that are having trouble retaining members, in contrast, Kantana is in a healthy financial position with not a lot of member attrition 

Major topic last call was the election/assignment of board positions and VPs, including decisions around two Board Reps to the LC: Eric Thompson and Mike Engle! 

Expect to have more yearly structure around standard VPs, committees and director positions/responsibilities. 

The DEIA has been setup as a Board Subcommittee and has continued to meet on Mondays

The financial report was health

• ANCR - Advanced Notice and Consent Receipt
  • Transparency Performance Indicators, the draft is pretty much complete
  • Holding a workshop on May 24th, sign up here https://transparencylab.ca/
• IAWG – Identity Assurance 
  • recovery mode after completion and submission of comments to Kantara 800-63r4
  • Looking to supply comments to NIST public roadmap, ensure they include industry voice
  • US Health & TEFCA, various groups have been set up to make this real. CARIN has been looking into how to setup federated search for patient records by the patient. 
    • Kantara & CARIN has been in liaison, e.g. to promote Kantara's assurance program 
    • Performing a gap analytic between CARIN policy and existing assurance reqs, identifying any missing criteria and exploring the creation of an additional trust mark to reach those CARIN/TEFCA requirements for identity assurance
  • Have some ideas about splitting IAWG into two groups, to resolve this year. Too much to do and not enough time!
    1. Designated owner of the Kantara assurance schema (SAC) - IAWG has been the 'de-facto' owner of this 
    2. Looking outwards, what are other groups or schemes in the market
• UMA
  • Steve V presented the UMA 101 Session at last IIW
  • Have been working towards a UMA + UK Pensions Dashboard Report, close to a first draft
  • Could the UMA group solicit updates from IETF initiatives, e.g. OAuth 2.1, GNAP, RAR, etc
• PEMC
  • Draft Implementors Report v2, what it means to provide privacy-enhancing mobile credentials, including specific guidance for different ecosystem roles (e.g. issuer, verifier)
    • a couple of drafting sessions are setup this week, hope for group consensus on the draft by next week! Followed by Kantara Report publication
    • The next steps are creating requirements that supplement the report
  • Presented a session at EIC, kicked-off the privacy track of the conference. 
    • Will have a similar presentation at Identity Week EU
  • Kantara and PEMC were mentioned in this recent article: https://www.biometricupdate.com/202305/openid-recommends-steps-for-governments-to-protect-the-privacy-of-digital-ids 
• RIUP - Resilient Identifiers for Underserved Populations 
  • Looking to change their acronym to REUP 
  • Continuing to speak with these communities to directly get input from these people
  • Have identified the first step as building trust
• ISI
  • Using ISI and a holding group for NIEM topics and possible new work in ISI/Kantara

Are there some ways we can better attract people to our session?

• e.g. other EIC sessions includes 5 person panels every 30mins
  • There are recordings of the pre-conference workshops available on the KuppingerCole website to review for ideas
• Kantara has a differentiator in a sustainable business model 
• Could include a section 'How to do business with Kantara' to help companies make the business case internally and find support

New DG proposal: AI/Deep Fakes impact on Identity Verification Services
