    • Previous meeting we discussed items 1-3
    • We need to dive a bit deeper in to mechanisms for networking
      • Take to the list for discussion
    • "Library" topic
      • Should the content be created/commissioned by the organization? or pointers to external sources?
      • Q: Need a combination
        • Have a request mechanism to ask for subject areas to be covered
        • There must be a good taxonomy/structure
        • Must be curation function to ensure quality
      • Q: I'd prefer a community fashion, so you could accept donations but maybe let them run through a validation by other members of the community.
      • Q: Maybe wrap them up as a 'publication' each year for members?
        • Other orgs publish around specific topics - call for contributions then publish/event on it
      • Need to address access/subscription - e.g. analyst reports - good to know about but not all can get them
      • Need to address how to deal with Vendor content - marketing versus practice advice
      • Q: Need to decide if publication is to be a revenue stream?
        • There is preliminary interest from some publishers to create a trade publication for 'Identity'
        • Scholarly articles?
        • Magazine?
        • Conference proceedings?
        • Be very cautious about closing ourselves off from the broader world by standing up paywalls and other restrictions
    • "Standard Body of Knowledge" topic
      • This is one of the hallmarks for a professionalized group of practitioners
      • 1st step is to define 'Domains' to be elaborated
      • Can we come to consensus in a project team about the top 1 or 2 levels of a taxonomy by February launch announcements?
      • What relative priority is this item?
      • Must consider who the audience is intended to be
        • Inward to 'technical' ID Pros?
        • External to technical people in adjacent sectors who are not yet ID Pros?
        • Knowledge that is useful to senior executive making business decisions?
      • Should start with a glossary
        • Must be practical
        • Must decide approach to this first
        • Document versus Define approaches
    • "Code of Practice" topic
      • Code of Practice is a good outward message to others that we understand the broader impacts of our practices
      • Q: is the code of practice for "Digital ID Pros" or "the use of Digital ID"?
        • Must consider if we want a self-enforced code? or push our views to non-members? must be pragmatic
        • How should we or should we deal with apparent violations of the code? 
        • Need to tread carefully and work out the downstream impacts
    • "Certification Program" topic
      • Great thing to aim for over time
      • There are other things that have to be in place before this
      • Fills a gap
      • Has to be kept current 
      • Avoid selling the certification versus the attestation of the individual's capabilities
      • If we go all-in on certification we have to consider the depth of process and administration - should probably get international standards body to certify that we are doing it 'right'
      • This is not a critical path topic
  • Ian to propose modifications to meeting times and cadence to increase attendance opportunity
  • Next meeting
    • Vice-Chair and Secretary ballot results
    • Start discussion of project areas and sub-assignments
