Working Draft
This page is a Working Draft subject to further revision and has not yet been approved by the Leadership Council.
(1) Discussion Group Name
Identity Community Update Discussion Group (ICU-DG)
(2) Discussion Topic/Purpose/Motivation
The goal of the ICU-DG is to provide a means for Kantara Initiative participants to remain up to date with the status of tracked identity projects, both within as well as external to Kantara Initiative. There are a number of projects that, for various reasons, are not visible enough to Kantara Initiative participants, let alone the wider community. The projects will be identified and tracked by the ICU-DG which will release updates as a podcast series.
Activities of the ICU-DG podcast series will include:
- Podcast episodes of discussions about tracked projects.
- Podcast episodes of updates on Kantara Initiative projects.
- Blog posts associated with each podcast episode that include summaries, related information, and referenced links.
NOTE: The ICU-DG is not intended as a forum for doing work on the tracked projects or debating their merits per se, but rather as a mechanism for quickly and easily sharing update reports.
