Intro

Roll Call

See above.

Minutes

5/17/12 Minutes: Some minor spelling edits made.

Barry motioned to approve updated minutes, Bill seconded. Minutes approved by unanimous consent.

PIDS Update

Dan: Currently working on proposal to industry group for funding to build some of the components for PIDS.

NwHIN RFI Update

Pete: any concerns or support of the language?

Barry: I think as written, the RFI doesn’t deal with identity to a necessary level.

Pete: I agree, and I think that’s where we take that from a Kantara perspective, that identity is a necessary piece that isn’t spelled out. That would be a good response for us to make.

Barry: I’d be glad to forward a response to the group that I sent directly to NwHIN.

Helen: I think what we’re running up against is that NwHIN is funded through ONC through the end of the fiscal year, and they’re looking for a financial sustainability but in a bit of a hurry.

Joni: I think the HIA is the group to make the statement in terms of this specific item. Kantara as a whole will rely on this group to deliver the message about identity.

Pete tasked Barry to be the advocate for the response to NwHIN about the identity issue.

Joni recommended that statement reiterate what we already have and provide a roadmap plan.

Assignments over the next week – Dan and Pete volunteer to start working on response. Others offer to assist. Pete, Joni and Dan will work on an initial draft between today (6/7) and tomorrow (6/8).

F2F Meeting in July

No Other BusinessAugust 7-8 in Crystal City, Pete encourages everyone who can make it to attend.

AOB

Joni: putting together a position paper for Kantara for formation of NSTIC steering group to create clear statement for Kantara initiatives related to NSTIC steering group. Does PIDS align, or is there other reference material that aligns?

Pete: The obvious point to me is that NSTIC advocates a single digital identity, and that includes healthcare, and there should be a single rule book. That’s what we provide and that meets the goals of NSTIC.
