[KI-LC] Kantara Support For A National Identity Verification Standard??

[Bob Pinheiro]

  Joni,

I think the announcement appended below, and the attached Call for 
Participation, summarizes the issue.  Essentially, NASPO wants to begin 
work on developing an ANSI standard for identity verification ("identity 
proofing") and is looking for financial support as well as people to 
actively participate in the work.  So the question for the BoT would be, 
can Kantara make a contribution of $3K per year for this effort (the 
amount for a trade association member), and if so, will someone be 
available to participate in the work? If the answer is YES to the first 
question, I'd presume that a Kantara member or participant would need to 
volunteer to represent Kantara, and that this could be determined later.

Note: the Call for Participation asks for only a $1K contribution for a 
"non-profit not representing any industry", but I think Kantara would be 
closer to a trade association.

The main question right now is whether Kantara can financially support 
the NASPO effort.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Bob
