Thank you Salvatore.
Yes I'd like to focus on a use case too, and actually this cuts across a number of WG's and provides a common focus for how Cloud might apply to them.
Recently EHealth Ontario joined our 'Canadian Cloud Best Practices Council' (http://canadacloud.biz/cloud-best-practices-council/) with a view to collaborating on developing new innovations.
They have their own Federated Identity program called 'ONE ID' - http://www.ehealthontario.on.ca/programs/one_id.asp, which is more theory than it is reality at the moment, and so I'd like to propose Kantara is the ideal way to implement it. They're focused just on the authentication function at the moment, but I think ONE ID is the ideal metaphor for a broader citizen-centric identity architecture, and so how we might additionally incorporate UMA principles would be very productive.
I'd also like to explore how this would correlate with a single identifier, like XDI i-names et al.
Kind regards,
Neil.

Neil,
Speaking for myself it would be good to move ahead a use case. Is there a particular vertical, I was thinking that given the needs around health care that we could actually serve eGov and Health IT folks as well.
As you will see we UMAnitarians are a cooperative lot, so curious about others ideas.
We (UMA) also have a need to progress our trust model so maybe this can help focus on use case as well.
Thanks for the interest.

Subject: [WG-UMA] UMA & Kantara Cloud Best Practices
Greetings UMAnitarians
I'm new to the list, and by way of introduction I'd like to highlight I'm in process of setting up a new Kantara WG, called Kantara Cloud Identity and Security Best Practices - This will define the intersection between Cloud Computing and Kantara Federated Identity standards.
As part of this process I'm seeking to identify complimentary relationships with other WGs.
Concerns over data privacy and controls is the #1 concern over Cloud hosting, so it would seem protocols like UMA are fundamental to success of the Cloud, and given the evolution of IT applications, vice versa.
I'd love to hear any ideas for collaboration in this area..
Kind regards,

Hi folks
I have just joined the Health ID Assurance and Business Case for Federations groups.
By way of introduction I am in process of starting a new Kantara WG - Cloud Identity and Security Best Practices, which will focus on the overlap between Kantara programs and Cloud Computing. As part of this I'm looking to define partnering relationships to the other WG's, and here's my initial suggestion for doing so below:
I'm working with EHealth Ontario, where they have their own similar program called 'ONE ID' - http://www.ehealthontario.on.ca/programs/one_id.asp
So I'd like to propose to them:
- How the Kantara Health ID program could be applied in this scenario to implement a Federated Identity system
- Via a first step of documenting the business case for doing so
The main output from the Kantara Cloud group will be to define how the Kantara standards can be implemented via 'IDaaS' - Identity as a Service, and so this exercise will then further clarify how it could be applied for this industry requirement, so creating 'ONE ID as a Service'.
Let me know thoughts and ideas for how best to move this forward,
Thanks and regards,
