Invitation to ANCR WG Intro & Interop Call starting October 14th, 11 am eastern
by Mark Lizar 08 Oct '26

08 Oct '26

Dear all, (LC cc'd pls share with your groups) Please join us next Wednesday, 14 October, at 11:00 am 12:00 Eastern, for the first ANCR WG call on the Digital ID consent specification: the ANCR TS 27560 Extension, Release 1. Join information on ANCR WG page <https://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WA/overview?homepageId=2916356> link: [Zoom Link <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87282263538?pwd=K0RwY1g1b3pKeHdBcXpjeExVZUFpQT09> ] This call introduces co-regulating digital id for cross-border data transfers, digital-id interoperability and AI governance with standard machine readable transparency (aka notice records and consent notice receipts.) There has been incredible progress this year in the notice + consent receipt space. The ANCR TS Extension is WG approved as Release 1, and has been contributed to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27/WG 5 under PWI 26689. This is accompanied by a new ISO standard proposal for standardising Transparency, approved in ISOIEC JTCI/SC 44/WG 1 - Consumer Protection with privacy by design. Both efforts now super charged with the support of the Council of Europe , Convention 108 Treaty Secretariat. This set of standards activity, is on the agenda at the next CoE plenary November 18-20, which potentially opens a global market for Kantara initiative efforts, through a common Digital-Id - Internet Transparency Code of Practice as a international transfer tool, to facilitate model contractual clauses and personal data transfers. Thus this call is framed to invite those interested in seeing how this specification might help you implement or make interoperable Kantara Initiative specifications and protocols in this larger governance framework context which impacts digital-id. Below is a table of potential relationships in which the ANCR ISO Extension relates to Kantara efforts. The underlying topic is moving more directly to multi-modal modes of data control authority management made possible with a machine readable notice and consent record standard defined according to internationally (soon to be) enforceable treaty. All are welcome, including those new to the work and interested in data control centric technical topics.
