Minutes

  1. Roll Call for Quorum Determination
    • Quorum reached.
    • Note that quorum changed after Aug 15 due to factors explained below under Founding Charters.
  2. Approval of prior meeting minutes
    1. Please review: Leadership Council Teleconference - 2009-08-12
      • Minutes APPROVED by unanimous consent.
  3. WG / DG Updates:
    1. Progress Update: eGovernment Work Group
      1. LC vote to approve formation
        • Motion to approve eGov WG charter APPROVED by unanimous consent.
    2. Progress Update: Healthcare ID Assurance WG
      1. Rick Moore to represent John Fraser
        • Changes have been made to the charter based on comments received previously.
        • It was noted that the word "Assurance" in the group name doesn't seem to match current usage in heavy mailing list discussion. Rick explained that the name comes from goals originally established by GSA and HIMSS in their PKI guidelines and from further threads of discussion and effort.
        • This group and the ID Assurance group have reciprocal liaison mentions in their charters.
        • This charter was accepted on August 6.
        • Motion to approve Healthcare Identity Assurance WG charter was APPROVED by unanimous consent.
    3. Founding Charters Update
      1. Submission: August 15th
      2. Vote: September 14th at DIDW
      3. Status of Remaining Founders:
        1. Clients WG (Conor Cahill) - Accepted for LC review, vote on or before Sept 14
          • It was suggested to remove occurrences of "NewOrg" and to spell out Provisioned Module Manager.
          • It was established that the notion of a Consent Service, discussed some months ago, is different from the Attestation Service mentioned in the charter.
          • It was suggested to make clear the ways in which the scope of this group does not reach into InfoCard areas, or IdP Selection areas, or other fairly high-level client-side application areas. The bullet list in the Purpose section, for example, is overly broad.
        2. Healthcare ID Assurance WG (John Fraser) - Accepted for LC review, vote on or before Sept 5 (due to earlier acceptance)
          • See above; approved today.
        3. UD-VPI Policy WG (Iain Henderson) - Removed
          • No longer contributes to quorum or has an LC member seat as of Aug 15.
        4. Liberty Spec Maintenance WG (Prateek Mishra) - Postponed
          • No longer contributes to quorum or has an LC member seat as of Aug 15.
        5. Multi-Protocol Selector DG (Drummond Reed) - Postponed
          • No longer has an LC member seat as of Aug 15.
  4. Board of Trustees Update [Colin, Conor]
    1. BoT wants sub-committee on finance to be created. Funding questions
      • The subcommittee is urgently needed to be formed.
      • KI has little financial leeway.
      • AI: Conor and Colin: Ask the BoT to share the rough size of the total budget for WG/DG support in 2010.
      • AI: Chairs: Use the LC list to begin sharing budget requests coming from their groups prior to the next LC meeting.
    2. BoT proposing town hall meeting for DIDW F2F Tuesday AM to discuss how members can take work load off staff
      • This measure has been proposed to relieve some of the current financial pressure.
  5. Action Items Update:
    1. Investigate any special category of "leadership votes" that must be taken by the "founding chairs". [Trent]
      1. Unable to find any written reference to back up my recollection that founding WG/DGs don't require an officer vote.  Recommend we procede as if founding WG/DGs are treated exactly the same as new ones once their charter is accepted by the LC Secretary.

      • The sleeping rooms have connectivity at $10/24hr, but the meeting rooms have a different provider.
    2. The group dinner (open to Kantara members and colleagues) is confirmed at the Carnival World Buffet Tuesday, Sept. 15 7:30-9pm. Registration will become available shortly.
      • Whoo-hoo! (smile)
  7. AOB
    • Britta and Joni researched the BoT minutes and found the provision that allows the founding groups' chairs to be grandfathered in for a term ending in 2009. However, elections need to be held for other leadership positions.
    • It was noted that the operating procedures have a lot of holes and "bugs". Members are reminded to add their issues to the new operating procedures review page prior to the F2F meeting.
