Dear Ravet, As Patrick mentioned earlier, the number of discussion groups related to federation is straining our resources and we should carefully consider how we can avoid duplicate efforts. The EUM and BCTF DG have similar goals and are candidates for a consolidation. In the LF meeting we had only a short discussion about the backgrounds of both DGs. The key points I understood are that the EUM DG is focused on establishing business cases/projects/liaisons with the ECC. For the BCTF DG, I drafted my ideas about it in http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/x/UIqvAg I would like to see that we could join meetings, some deliverables and if possible to some extent also the administrative structure like management of action items, mailing list and Wiki space. I have no personal preference whether the one DG is seen as a chapter of the other. What do you think? Brgds Rainer Am 03.01.2011 um 18:15 schrieb Anna Ticktin:
Hello Rainer—
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays went well.
As convener of the BCTF-DG, I am consulting with you for a proposed kick-off call date. Currently there is availability on Tues, Weds, and Thursdays. On that initial call we can discuss a more permanent telecon time either weekly, biweekly or montly, depending on what the group feels is best.
Please let me know when you'd like to convene the first call and I can search those days/dates for windows of availability on the Kantara call calendar.
Best. —> Anna Ticktin

The big problem I face is that identity management and federation are now spread across many groups in Kantara and I am hitting disconnects and overlaps. It is very confusing and I can't seem to obtain an overall plan or picture about how the Kantara D/W Groups are working to any sort of overall plan or roadmap. So I now belong to 4 groups but I also see that eGov and Citizen ID groups are treading in the same spaces. I just don't have time to attend all the groups nor to follow up with individuals to try to untangle the confusions. I am looking for help!
