Fwd: SIN 541519CSP Notice
by Kay Chopard 29 May '24

29 May '24

Hello everyone, The announcement for the new GSA SIN is out and live now. CSPs need to complete forms that can be found in idmanagement.gov, to get on the schedule. Also, please note that both state and federal government agencies are permitted to use the vendors on this schedule for credential services. So this extends Kantara-certified reach considerably. Please let me know if you have any questions. If you have thoughts about better ways to talk to companies and members about this let me know. Thanks for your support everyone. And to those of you who are CSPs - good luck! Best wishes, Kay *Kay Chopard | **Executive Director* *Twitter:* @KantaraNews *LinkedIn:* @KantaraInitiative On May 28, 2024, the General Services Administration (GSA) updated the Multiple Award Schedule with Refresh 21 <https://sam.gov/opp/6ed7287403a143fdaa9f3c53cc71d085/view> which contains the release of SIN 541519CSP - Credential Service Providers. Federal agencies have expressed interest in using SIN 541519CSP starting June 2024. Current MAS contract holders interested in the SIN are encouraged to contact their contracting officer for modification guidance.

Seeking testers for our new Kantara website
by Karyn Bright 16 May '24

16 May '24

Hello We have been working hard for the last few months on designing and building a new website for Kantara Initiative. The goal is to make it much easier for visitors to find information about our organization and sign up for our various services. We have created a new navigation structure and simplified page content. I believe the look and feel is much cleaner, less text heavy and generally more modern and in keeping with an organization that leads in our sector. It is now time to ask for your feedback! Please could I ask you to take some time over the coming week (our deadline is Friday 17th May) to test the new site? Please try and complete a number of tasks e.g. * sign up for membership * download an Assessor application form * download the charter and/or documents pertaining to a Work Group * highlight any British English on US pages - I am sure there will still be many examples that have crept through! I would highlight a few caveats: * The actual forms for signup are NOT active as these link to the live membership/WG database. Armin will switch these over when he moves the site off the staging server and into the live environment * We are gradually working through all the old News items to ensure consistency; not all headline/images line up properly yet HOW TO LOG ON URL: https://staging.kantarainitiative.org Username: kantaraboard Password: phvjfKgBVuBpp DETAILS FOR PROVIDING FEEDBACK Please use this spreadsheet on our shared Google Drive for recording your feedback. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hVr3YaLsXYj6LVBaLDew9i-95cUSvZ9h/ed… Deadline 17th May 2024 If you have any questions, please email me or post a direct message on our MatterMost channel. Thank you so much! Karyn Bright | Communications [Logo, company name Description automatically generated] Mobile: +44 (0)7931 336458 Twitter: @KantaraNews LinkedIn: @KantaraInitiative

Policy for joining Work Groups
by Karyn Bright 29 Mar '24

29 Mar '24

Hello again As part of the website upgrade, we want to make it very easy for people to find the relevant information they need to participate. I have found this page which seems a useful addition to the Work Groups and GPA form https://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GI/pages/1089165/Joining+Groups+a… However, I note that it hasn't been updated since 2016 and there are a couple of things I feel may no longer be in policy. @Alec Laws<mailto:Alec@identos.ca> or @Kay Chopard<mailto:kay@kantarainitiative.org> Please could you advise if I am OK to use this page and, if so, any changes that should be made.

Hi I had hoped to listen in on your call earlier but got my time difference wrong! I am working on our March Newsletter at the moment and would love to include an update on any areas you are willing or able to highlight? AM thinking that the Deepfakes Group could do with a focus? Also @John Wunderlich<mailto:john@wunderlich.ca> - I believe you have a blog waiting in the wings? 🙂 Feel free to share it as is - I can always edit or polish it to suit the Newsletter format. @eve@xmlgrrl.com<mailto:eve@xmlgrrl.com>, if there is any sort of summary you could give me wrt the BoD work you've been leading, that would also be fab. I will listen to the transcript of the meeting later today. Appreciate your support - thanks!
