Happy Holidays from Kantara Initiative
by Joni Brennan 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Dear Members and Friends, As the year comes to a close and we enter 2013, we remember both the difficult and joyous events of 2012. We had significant success in Kantara with 2 CSPs, 3 new Assessors, new and continuing Memberships and lots of great work from the WGs/DGs! We welcomed Heather Flanagan to our small PM support team this year.... and sadly, we wished the best to RL "Bob" Morgan on his journey to 'the cloud'. While we reflect on the past year, we look ahead with renewed hope and energy to push forward a wonderful 2013. Kantara Initiative thanks you for your support during 2012. In the coming year, we remain committed to help you and your organization achieve successes in Identity Management initiatives that lead to growth and exciting new opportunities. We wish that your holiday season and New Year is filled with peace and joy! Here's to a happy and healthy 2013. We look forward to continuing the good work with all of you! >From all of us in the Kantara Initiative family, we wish you and your families Healthy and Happy Holidays! Joni Brennan Executive Director Kantara Initiative

Call for nominations: Kantara Initiative At-Large Trustee positions
by Heather Flanagan 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello Kantara Initiative Members, This message announces the opening nominations for 2 Kantara Organizational Members to become Board of Trustee members for a term ending December 31, 2013. Once nominations close we will continue the process toward a Member ballot to determine the 2 new election winners. The newly seated At-Large Trustees will have the benefit of participating in Board level discussions. Additionally, each newly seated Board Member will have one vote toward the Board of Trustees quorum. The 2 Organizational Members who garner the new at large Trustee seats will follow their own internal process to select a representative (one from each organization for each new seat) who will actually participate on the Board of Trustees. Note that the Board of Trustees meets bi-weekly (twice per month) alternating morning and evening calls to make participation possible from all parts of the world. Who can be nominated: All Kantara Organizational Members (including Government Agencies) are eligible. Organizational Members may nominate other Organizational Members or even self-nominate for this benefit. Current At-Large trustees may be renominated. Who can not be nominated: Current Board Members, Non-Profit Members, Individual Contributor Members Current Members Page: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/GI/Current+Members Nominations: December 10 - December 21, 2012 Election Process: Member ballot for the elections will occur January 7-14 2013. Results will be announced no later than 16 January 2013. Specific voting processes will be overseen by the Board of Trustees and communicated by the Executive Director following the nomination period. Should you have questions or need assistance please don't hesitate to contact me directly. We are looking forward to the elections to come and to welcoming 2 new Organizational Members to the Board of Trustees! [1] 4.1.3 - At Large Trustees - Two (2) members of the Trustees may be elected from the existing organizational members that are L0, L1, L2, or L3 members and are not already trustees. The term of these Trustees will be for one (1) calendar year and will expire at the end of each year on December 31st. The procedure for the election of these trustees will be determined and overseen by the Trustees, except that that all current members that are L0, L1, L2, AND L3 levels will have only one (1) vote per organization and that the top two (2) vote getters will be elected. There is no limit as to the number of terms that these organizations may serve as Trustees. If either or both elected Trustee organizations should resign or vacate their position before the end of their term, the Trustees may initiate an election to fill the remaining time of the term(s). -- Heather Flanagan Technical Program Coordinator Kantara Initiative Skype: hlflanagan email: heather(a)kantarainitiative.org
