Subject: [Dg-biometrics] Kantara DG Biometrics Group - Meeting Review & Next Week's meeting
Reply-To: "This mailing list is for the Biometrics Data Discussion Group." <dg-biometrics@kantarainitiative.org>



Greetings Everyone,

Today’s Meeting

1. The group discussed the group’s purpose. I will be providing some updates prior to next Friday’s meeting to clarify our focus. 
   
   
2. We have had small groups the past few weeks. I encourage you to attend our meetings regularly. If you cannot, please excuse yourself.  We need to know how many active participants we have, as this will impact the group's output scope.

3. The Agenda is below. Our plan for next week is to review the progress we made today and align on next steps for the process, then begin Part One of that process. 
   
   
4. Please feel free to invite anyone whom you believe can add value to our group.
