To facilitate the proliferation of Identity Federations the BCTF (Business Cases for Trust Federation Discussion Group) is collecting, documenting and classifying projects of this category. This is not about technology, standards or areas of interest (SAML, OpenID, WS-Trust, etc.) but about business (FICAM, InCommon, SAFE, TSCP, STORK, etc.). So far have named 25 projects and described 3 projects in detail: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/bctf/Implemented+Trust+Fram… We need to know about more projects and more about projects. I am asking you to contribute to this community effort in one or the other way: Provide a reference to similar lists that describe federation projects Name projects that you know and are not in the list (except higher edu - counts as a single project for now) Make contact to people who you think know more about this Submit more information on projects that need an overview and/or detailed description Be an editor for one or more items in the list If editing the wiki is an obstacle, please submit you contribution vie email to dg-bctf(a)kantarainitiative.org. Your help is very appreciated. - Rainer Hörbe - Kantara BCTF DG - chair

This is a reminder to send confirmation to Lucy Lynch if you are a Kantara Member and would like to assist in the efforts of the strategy sub-committee. We looking forward to hearing your confirmations and to kicking off the new sub-committee activities in the very near future. Best Regards, =Joni ------------------ (This message is sent on the behalf of Matthew Gardiner, Kantara Initiative President) Kantara Initiative is looking for Members to form an Ad Hoc StrategyAdvisory Committee If you have opinions on how Kantara can be a more effective collaborative consortium, attract more members, and enhance its voice for and within the identity community, please consider volunteering for this strategycommittee. As with all non-profits, the Kantara Initiative can only be as effective as its members make it. In an effort to continue to expand the reach and effectiveness of the Kantara Initiative, the Board of Trustees is looking for representatives from Kantara member organizations and/or members of the Leadership Committee to take part in a relatively small ad hoc strategy committee that will examine the current position of the Kantara Initiative and recommend a set of actions to the Board of Trustees. The initial goal of this committee is to present its findings and recommendations at the upcoming F2F meeting in Berlin in mid-May. Please indicate your interest by sending a brief note to Kantara’s Secretary and Treasurer, Lucy Lynch of ISOC at lynch(a)isoc.org . Best Regards, Matthew Gardiner ****************************** ***
