Quorum was achieved.

Andi Hindle was at Ping for six years, and is now consulting in the XACML space with Axiomatics. He's interested in the intersection of UMA with other technologies. He has both commercial and technical interests. He'll be at CIS.

Ryan Page is working on ICAM consulting work, for various government agencies. He comes from the policy side of ABAC. He works on some other things related to UMA. He's interested in cloud and VRM.

Mike notes: In the OpenID Connect process, there's public review and the opportunity for several release drafts, and they timed that to coincide with the RSA 2014 conference. They also had four interop rounds. What about doing that? Debbie asks: How does this align with IETF? Our plan as of last summer was to use the IETF Independent Submission route eventually, which isn't mutually exclusive from Kantara processes. Eve notes: KI processes don't have the "cycling through implementor's draft"/multiple votes option the way OpenID Foundation does.

Mike suggests aligning with RSA 2015, and doing multiple interops in the meantime. Mark asks: Meaning, all the specs together, or just pieces? OpenID Connect actually released Core, and is still working on other pieces.

Adrian asks: Among OAuth, OpenID Connect, and UMA, where do we pay attention to IDESG? Like OIX and FIDO, IDESG is sort of "in the wings". By the end of 2014, IDESG intends to have a framework for defining federations and attribute management across sectors, not just a set of use cases. Eve suggests that liaising to inform IDESG of "access federation" needs would be good. Mike mentions Prateek Mishra's (Oracle) efforts to resource OAuth-style multi-party federations, which would be relevant to our access federation goals. Using UMA to do trust elevation between domains is something that could happen outside of UMA.

Eve challenges: What might we need to fix/work on in the Core and maybe RSR specs before a V1.0 level of standardization? Mike agrees that if UMA's release status stays nebulous, that's bad. But he cautions that we need more interop and feedback. What about "version number hacking", and going to Kantara Initiative Recommendation with a Version 0.9? It would send the message to the market that it's getting mature, but is willing to benefit from experience, so that there would be "version explosion" soon after a la V1.0 vs. V1.1 vs. V2.0 (SAML, SCIM, OpenID...). Then again, if we want to signal that an "implementor's target" really has IP protections, what about the WG's current process differs from, say, SCIM's with its several interops? Not much, it turns out.

Proposal: Go to an official, KI-approved V0.9 quickly (by the UMA WG's 5th anniversary?), then turn to V1.0 work in earnest, including heavy emphasis on interop and digging into all the specific use cases. Target RSA 2015 for V1.0. Consensus reached. Okay, now which specs need this treatment? Core, RSR. Too early for Binding Obligations? It seems so. Too early for Claim Profiling? No, it's important for interop, or at least the OpenID Connect portions! Let's include the Claim Profiling spec, and then choose whichever profiles we want to include in interop testing.

MOTION: Mike moves and Jin seconds: Approve current Core, RSR, and Claim Profiles specs as amended with editorial cleanup items as V0.9 Draft Recommendations and ask Kantara to proceed with All Member Ballot planning, with the intent to publish them as V0.9 Kantara Initiative Recommendations. APPROVED by unanimous consent.

AI: Eve, Thomas, Maciej: Coordinate on doing editorial revisions to specs and getting them into the Kantara process.
