Biometric Data Group update
by maxine most 15 Apr '26

15 Apr '26

NOTE: Because of recent email issues, I have included individual emails as well as the group address. Greetings Everyone, This email is an update on both group logistics and progress. WE ARE GOING TO SKIP OUR MEETING THIS WEEK FOR THE HOLIDAYS - Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Passover. LOGISTICS ATTENDANCE: We have a small core group of 4 to 6 people who regularly attend our Friday meetings. THANK YOU to those attending!! I believe we have made significant progress, but we need a larger group to produce meaningful output. I am wondering if others have * Have conflicts? Have lost internet? Are you just too busy? * Would meeting every other week be helpful? * Would a date/time change be helpful? * I now have a Friday morning conflict and am working to resolve it. * I am also open to finding a new time I WILL SEND OUT A NEW POLL TO RECONSIDER OUR MEETING DAY AND TIME RECRUITMENT I will also be recruiting additional members. I encourage everyone to do the same. Feel free to send folks to me with questions. MEETING INVITE: There have been issues with the meeting invitation. * I will delete the previous recurring calendar invite and send a new one after we confirm the meeting data and time. * If, for some reason, this is not working for you, please create your own recurring calendar event using the following: Weekly Meeting Link - Join the Zoom<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81718332365?pwd=zxGbUpyKUIAvb2FihUSga7VjSdnlB4.1> Meeting ID: 817 1833 2365 Passcode: 421679 PROGRESS FRIDAY, APRIL 27 MEETING We didn't meet on Friday because the group that showed up was too small to get buy-in on the updated Group Purpose. I’d like to see a large enough group willing to contribute and get the actual work done before we move forward with revising our group purpose and defining our work output. Meeting Notes _ March 30th Meeting https://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/biometrics/pages/1682341889/BDDG+… As I mentioned, WE ARE GOING TO SKIP OUR MEETING THIS WEEK FOR THE HOLIDAYS - Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Passover. I'd like to regroup the week of April 6th. Please review and make comments/suggestion NEXT MEETING: Finalized Group Purpose: We have been discussing the purpose as we brainstormed potential content for the group to develop. https://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/biometrics/pages/1682472962/Group… Original Group Purpose: The Biometric Data Discussion Group (BDDG) will address the management, security, and privacy of biometric data, from collection to destruction, with a focus on practical application and regulatory compliance. While standards do exist, they are often inaccessible to non-experts, and there is a need to decode and translate existing standards into a straightforward, practical guide for real-world application. BDDG will develop a set of recommendations and best practices for biometric data management to fill this need for use alongside existing standards. Proposed Group Purpose: The Biometric Data Discussion Group (Biometrics) will address the management, security, and privacy of biometric data, from collection to destruction, with a focus on practical applications. While standards, regulations, some social norms, and industry assumptions exist, they are often vague, inaccessible, not well understood, or simply unknown to the non-experts tasked with building, integrating, and/or deploying biometric-based solutions. There is a need for straightforward, practical guidance on product and solution development and deployment, in the form of expert recommendations, that can be used by business line, product, and technical teams to ground critical early-stage architecture, process, UIX, CX, etc., decisions on well-established best practices for biometric data management. Best practices designed to protect and preserve privacy while minimizing data exposure and other unexpected and unintentional negative impacts on PII. These recommendations and best practices aren't prescriptive for standards compliance or a replacement for internal analysis and governance. Instead, they are designed to help avoid critical-path mistakes early in product and solution development. The Biometric group will develop a set of recommendations and best practices for biometric data management to fill this need for use alongside existing relevant standards.
