Minutes & Notes

Executive Director report

• Joni will send a longer follow on report via email
• Had a run of meetings in the last month
  • RSA Conference - had a nice reception sponsored by ForgeRock, NRI, IEEE-SA, OpenStand, Experian, Equifax, ISOC; also had a Kantara breakfast which allowed us to sync up with a variety of individuals; so, no panel sessions but very successful side events
    
    • (Colin) the reception, Non-Profits on the Loose, was an excellent networking event
  • HIMSS - Health Information and Management Systems Society - very similar to RSA but much larger (35K in attendance); had a workshop, but not sure it was particularly successful; not a lot of attendance to that session; two take-aways from the panel - it was misnamed in the agenda ("special meeting" instead of "education" and "by-invitation-only"), which may have impacted the attendance, and talking about compliance may have been considered as interesting as doing taxes; title and subject should really be adjusted for future events; also noted that there remains a large education gap regarding what IDM is all about, and that is a space that Kantara can fill
    
    • (Pete) should not give up on this event; this was really more a mislabelling problem than a message problem; for those that were in the room, Joni did a great job keeping people engaged
    • (Joni) conversations about the US Affordable Care Act was particularly interesting
  • CA World - Kantara will be participating on a few panels and the Luminary Series (kind of like TED talks)
  • Japan Cloud Identity Summit - (Colin) fairly well attended event; it was primarily sponsored by Japanese organization; had a strong OIDF and OIX presence; it was fairly ambitious to try and do real-time translations during the sessions; it was a well-rounded conference, the Japanese audience was an eclectic mix of private and public sector organizations; particularly the Hackathon was interesting; it was also very much technology leading policy rather than the other way around, and there seemed to be a general acceptance of that.  There was a certain amount of complimentary support in comments from OIX, OIDF, and others, but Verizon seemed to avoid mentioning their Kantara certification

Action Item Review

Discussion of Action Items

Quarterly Reports

See Quarterly Reports

WG Chairs are still largely behind on this

LC Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary nominations - update

• No updates on this; bring it back to a future call

Review of Call Schedule

• Call time is still acceptable, though sometimes the 1.5 hour length is challenging
• we were doing weekly meetings (Strategy and Admin) but heard some feedback that weekly is too much; one suggestion was rather than a Strategy call, we recapture that as Marketing and Opportunities (something that can create actionable items, which is something we need right now); Kantara needs to move ahead urgently on marketing and membership; either make this a separate call or ensure it's on every Admin agenda

Update on All-Member Ballots

• At-Large trustees for 2013 are Government of Canada and TERENA
• There will be another opportunity for any organizational member to become an At-Large member at the end of the year
