Kantara Community,

The Kantara Initiative is pleased to announce the formation of the Kantara Initiative Federation Interoperability Work Group (FIWG). The purpose of this Work Group is to profile existing specifications to define an interoperable trust infrastructure for use by parties participating in Trust Frameworks. This will allow entities to determine the certification status and configuration parameters of entities outside of their local federation.

For more information on the Interoperability Workgroup, please visit the Federation Interoperability home page at http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/fiwg/Home


This Work Group is open to the public and ANY interested party may sign up to Participate.  If you or your colleagues would like to join this group, simply complete the Group Participation Agreement here: http://signup.kantarainitiative.org/?selectedGroup=24  

John Bradley will convene the group and welcomes you to join our kick off conference call on Wednesday, June 2, 7am PDT where we will discuss goals, scope and leadership nominations.  The group will meet on a weekly basis towards the IOP at Burton Catalyst in San Diego end of July, reverting to bi-weekly thereafter.
