@Former user (Deleted) 1. Article on 22nd: "true interop may required national patient ID."  2. RWJ did not accept proposal. @Jim Kragh Can we get judges comments for lessons-learned? @Former user (Deleted) Will check.

Continuation and progress on plans to use ID Proofing and Authentication moving toward "Authorization" Levels of Assurance, e.g. What level of authorization assurance does a relying party require to access or act upon health data in its variable levels of sensitivity?

@Jim Kragh – FIRE WG going for a grant in this area with ONC or other.

New/other business:

From Tom J: We tentatively approved (3 of 6 is not quorum) work on a specification for a Mobile Assurance Statement. This is to replace the reference to a "Software Statement" that is currently in the Distributed Assurance Specification. Feedback is appreciated. Vote at the next meeting.
