5. NHIN Direct - Pete Palmer Observations
It’s not technology, yet.  It’s a group to bootstrap adoption. It’s trying to bootstrap messaging. Was in-person and face-to-face. Â
Get clinical data exchange moving
Using SMTP, SMIME, REST as web services as base services to get messages flowing in simplest way possible.
Question: Anyone else involved? John Fraser and his company are focused. Mike Kirkwood reported the involvement in use case formation.
Pilot grant applications may start as soon as July.
Question: What is the NHIN Direct Identity Framework? Still working on this information. Some discussion on SMTP, SMIME and using DNS for Certificate pointers.  This is still a question. RFC   Root DNS Servers are now PKI enabled to require authorization. DNS requests to the root servers can now be enabled to be secure (signed) on the Internet.
6. NHIN Direct - Pete Palmer Observations
NHIN Connect and NHIN Direct should be included as a technology list in the project. This was voted and approved unanimously.
7. Is Group Ready to Fund Raise?
Need Board of Trustee member, is that accomplished (question by Brett McDowell). Â John Fraser mentioned that he has had a discussion with the board president (outgoing) and they are in agreement that it is okay to proceed. Â
Action: New leadership in Kantara should be updated (Trent and Lucy). Joni took action item to communicate with board members.
Joni shared some of the history and recent leadership changes with the group.
Action: Group to proceed with approval in place, with appropriate funding caveats.
