Hello Kantara Community. We have recently secured a host for the Katnara F2F meeting set for Oct 31 - Nov 1 located in Downtown Washington DC. Details will come soon as well as a registration page. Please save the dates! We will spend the days focusing Kantara activities and broader discussion regarding Trust and Identity Assurance. Additionally, the meeting is directly following the NSTIC IDESG meeting on Oct 29 - 30. We hope that by planning the meetings next to the IDESG event Kantara members may be able to plan for more efficient travel. Again, the registration page will be posted soon. Please join us! PS - While this meeting will mostly focus on Kantara Assurance work items, you don't have to be a member to attend. Feel free to share the dates with colleagues who may be interested!

Kantara Initiative Participant Poll - Plenary Scheduling
by Heather Flanagan 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Hello, We are assessing potential dates for our 2012 Kantara Initiative plenary. With so many interesting meetings and conferences happening this fall, we are hoping to find a time that will allow participants for the most efficient travel planning possible. Since previous Kantara plenary meetings have been held in Europe and on the US West Coast, we are looking to hold this meeting on the US East Coast in the Washington, DC area, as a half-way point for our international participants. Link to poll: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MWHZT88 In an effort to better serve our communities, we are asking you to take approximately 1 minute to complete a survey to help us plan for the event. We appreciate your feedback! For more information around other conferences and meetings of potential interest to the Kantara community, please see the Kantara Community calendar: http://kantarainitiative.org/calendars/ -- Heather Flanagan Kantara Initiative Skype: hlflanagan email: heather(a)kantarainitiative.org
