Hello Kantara Community, We are aware that some Kantara Confluence users have created Personal Spaces in which anonymous users have the ability to submit un-moderated comments. In some recent cases we have seen spam-related comments which staff has deleted. To avoid spam comments anonymous access should be disabled on profiles and personal spaces. If you have a Personal Space, we would like to request you to update commenting permission to only allow comments from 'logged in users' at your earliest convenience. For more details about Personal Spaces and their permissions please visit: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Setting+up+your+Personal+Space Should you have questions about personal spaces please feel free to contact the staff (support @ kantarainitiative.org).

IDCollaboration Day - sponsorship opportunities
by Dervla O'Reilly 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Dear Community, Last year we hosted IDCollaboration Day the Monday before RSA. It was great event and our goal of creating cross network/community collaboration emerged and continues to emerge. The event was valuable for all and we are keen to support this happening again. We are considering Feb. 27. We being - Identity Commons/Internet Identity Workshop and Kantara Initiative. This year we added OASIS IDTrust to the mix collaborating. We have a great venue scouted out right in the heart of Downtown San Francisco and have not yet signed the contract because we aren't sure the budget will work. In order to proceed with booking the venue and opening registration we need to know we have community sponsorship support. We are seeking a few anchor sponsors totaling $4,500 before we are willing to sign the contract. This could be 9 x $500 sponsorships or 3 x $1,500 sponsorships - or some combination thereof. (We can also sell Sponsors an "expensive" ticket if you have the ability to expense a day long event). Phil Windley is the main sponsorship co-ordinator - Phil@ and also please CC Kaliya Hamlin Kaliya(a)identitywoman.net and Dervla O'Reilly dervla(a)kantarainitiative.org Thanks, -Kaliya, Joni, Dee ________________________ Dervla O’Reilly Program & Event Manager Kantara Initiative +1 415 731 4487 business +1 509 757 4487 fax dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org http://www.kantarainitiative.org Join the conversation on the community@ list - http://kantarainitiative.org/mailman/listinfo/community

CloudIDsec WG - Draft Charter for Review and Comment
by Joni Brennan 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hello Community, There is a new draft charter in the works for a proposed Kantara Group focused on Cloud Identity Security. Kantara Participant Neil McEvoy is in process of starting up a new Kantara Initiative<http://kantarainitiative.org/>working group, called ‘ *CloudIDsec*‘ – Cloud Identity and Security Best Practices. Here is the first draft of the proposed charter<http://cloudbestpractices.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cloudidsec.pdf>, that he's making available to discuss potential partnerships. Feel free to have a read and contact him <contact(a)cloudbestpractices.org> to discuss any ideas. This will be a component part of our ongoing Canadian security series <http://canadacloud.biz/category/cloud-security-best-practices/> on this site, and also there is a dedicated Linkedin group<http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=3825416&trk=anet_ug_hm>for this best practice topic. Cloud Gateway Services Neil describes this version as having a Canadian flavour because i) he's in Canada, and ii) a key part of the R&D agenda includes a focus on where these Identity standards including Kantara overlap with their evolving set for Cloud Computing too, specifically the GC Community Cloud set<http://canadacloud.biz/roadmap/gc-community-cloud/> . For example for their core standards for identity authentication ITSG-31 here<http://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/its-sti/publications/itsg-csti/itsg31-eng.html>the Government of Canada has also standardized on and contributed to Kantara. Their specific implementation is defined in this document<http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/download/attachments/45059378/CA+-+…>. (53-page PDF). Read more and contact Neil should you be interested to support and/or join this group once it's launched.... http://canadacloud.biz/2012/01/22/canadian-cloudidsec/ Best Regards, =Joni Joni Brennan IEEE-ISTO Kantara Initiative | Executive Director voice:+1 732-226-4223 email: joni @ ieee-isto.org gtalk: jonibrennan skype: upon request Join the conversation on the community@ list - http://kantarainitiative.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Spotlight on Lucy Lynch
by Dervla O'Reilly 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Lucy Lynch is the Secretary & Treasurer for Kantara Initiative. Lucy has been involved with Kantara since it’s inception in 2009. Lucy is Director of Trust and Identity Initiatives with the Internet Society (ISOC) and her role is to examine some of the major issues affecting the Internet and to develop projects that will address those problems. Prior to joining the Internet Society, Lucy worked at the University of Oregon as a member of the Academic Computing and Network Applications Group. Her assignments with the University included work with the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) – a long-time partner with the Internet Society in bringing network technology and education to the developing world. In addition, she has been an active participant in both the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and recently completed a term as Chair of the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC). Lucy holds a Master’s degree in Mass Communications from the University of Oregon and has a long history of service in non-profit organizations ranging from mental health counseling to a hands-on science museum. She has been a grant writer, project manager, and a computer programmer. She also once managed the Flying Karamazov Brothers (www.fkb.com/) and hopes to put that unique non-linear managerial experience to good use as she directs new efforts for the Internet Society. Lucy lives in Eugene, Oregon, USA and travels extensively for work. When not traveling Lucy likes reading books and enjoying the outdoors. We’re very happy to have Lucy leadership and knowledge. ________________________ Dervla O’Reilly Program & Event Manager Kantara Initiative +1 415 731 4487 business +1 509 757 4487 fax dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org http://www.kantarainitiative.org Join the conversation on the community@ list - http://kantarainitiative.org/mailman/listinfo/community
