Minutes

1. Roll Call and quorum, approve previous minutes, and welcome new attendees

Roll call as above. John Fraser motioned to approve 6/24/10 minutes - Rich Furr seconded. Minutes approved without objection.

Minute taker: Lara Zimberoff.

2. Final questions surrounding GPII  / VUHID (Barry Hieb, GPII)

Update from Barry Hieb – we understand that as we move towards NHIN, we’ve got to do a better job of patient ID within/between HIEs. Hopefully our pilot project will help people understand how this can work. There are interesting conversations happenings in Washington about this issue, but that’s all just talk at this point.

No new questions were submitted.

3. Follow from last call on NASPO Identity Verification Effort

No new updates.

4. National Strategy for Secure Online Transactions (NSTIC) discussion

Two NSTIC documents currently available – 1. Strategy Document (available to public) 2. Implementation Plan

Rich Furr will send link to Strategy Document to the list

John Fraser: Is our effort, especially on the patient portal, something that will fit within NSTIC framework?
Answer: They want to work specifically with open standards and open standards technology.
John Fraser: That hopefully is us. There is a great opportunity for Kantara overall because NSTIC is looking for assessors of technology.

Bob Pinheiro: What kind of identity proofing do you need before being approved for a VUHID card?
Rich Furr: I think in regards to the NSTIC effort, that is one of a number of questions that will need to be dealt with as part of implementation plan. We can expect to see more guidance released.

John Fraser: Regarding identity vetting – isn’t that a prescriptive process?
Rich Furr: Yes, absolutely.

John Fraser: So we don’t need to reinvent the wheel?
Rich Furr: Correct

Bob Pinheiro: What attributes are required?
Pete Palmer: Referred to page 9 of strategy document and noted that its contents fall in line with eCitizen use case

John Fraser encouraged participants to read the strategy document which Pete Palmer distributed in preparation for the next call.

John Fraser: Does anyone know what the next step with NSTIC is?
Rich Furr: To distribute implementation plan for public comment, sometime after 7/21

Bob Pinheiro mentioned the necessity for thorough PR for acceptance of the effort – encouraged participants to read the online comments from the public – John Fraser requested Bob distribute link to the group

Group agreed to create draft recommendation comments to submit to NSTIC – John Fraser suggested including, at a minimum, a description of the group’s work in healthcare to establish us as a “potential player” – Rich Furr was tasked to generate first draft of comments with Pete Palmer to assist and offer input

On agenda for next call: continuation of NSTIC discussion – John Fraser invited Thomas Lockwood, who is supporting the White House on the NSTIC effort, to participate in the next call

Bob Pinheiro's input from Tom Lockwood – if Kantara wants to participate in NSTIC effort, they should be contributing to NASPO funding. Tom believes that the NASPO effort is important. Bob suggested Brett McDowell as an NSTIC representative to reach out to for participation on the next call

Question: Does NHIN have anyone from NSTIC working with them?
John Fraser: Not sure. Should they be involved? Yes, but I haven’t heard anything. It’s too early.

To be discussed on next call: identity vetting and identity management to inform eCitizen of our thoughts on those efforts – discuss general architecture and identity vetting mechanisms

5. Update on eCitizen project

Dazza Greenwood: eCitizen and Kantara has come to an agreement on legal substance of the contract. My sense is funding is looking good and is in line. It seems things are coming together nicely and that by our next call we should have even more progress to report.

Dervla O'Reilly: we are working on the agreement and things are moving forward, but there was one issue identified where Phase 1 could occur under the current CC IPR of HIAWG. But the thought is that in Phase 2 for code develoment the Apache IPR licence should be used. Therefore, this means potentially creating a new group to house the work under apache license. We’re sorting through that issue and there should be a resolution by the next call.

John Fraser thanked those involved in work on the contract.

6. Other business

No other business.
