At the end
of 2009, the Identity Services Work Group (ISWG) found a formal
home at the Kantara Initiative. Encouraged by its prior work products, and
the interest and participation at Burton Group’s Birds of a Feather session at
Catalyst San Diego earlier in the year, the group revised its charter
and the group was approved by Kantara’s leadership committee.
The group anticipates that the Kantara Initiative will increase opportunities for participation and distribution of its results. Observers or participants do not have to be Kantara Initiative members, and there is no investment requirement to become involved, although participants must sign a Group Participation Agreement (GPA). Brett McDowell, Kantara Initiative Executive Director, indicates that the results of the effort will be “freely re-usable and will be advanced by an open, inclusive and democratic process.”
At this
point, the Identity
and Access Services (IAS) group has issued a call for leadership and
participation. The first order of business is to continue building out the use
cases for authorization. If you are interested in participating, contact Gavin
