Need your help for Round table discussion next week at Identity Week
by Kay Chopard 28 Sep '23

Hi everyone, I will be at the Identity Week conference next week here in DC at the Convention Center. They have told me they plan to hold the conference even if the government is shut down. In addition to doing a couple of presentations, they have offered me the ability to run/organize a roundtable discussion. I proposed topics from the various work groups in Kantara. They like the one on DEIA the best. Will any of you be at the conference as well? Could any of you participate with me in the roundtable to help facilitate the discussion? I used the work areas we've discussed as a group for the discussion topic - but we haven't really made any progress. Some of you may have already done some work in these areas - would you mind sharing some information or generic stuff I could use to facilitate the discussions? Here is what I suggested to them: - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessible - Common Taxonomy, Metrics, and How We Can Make Identity Solutions that Work I could use some help! Here is the link to the roundtable descriptions, https://www.terrapinn.com/exhibition/identity-week-america/agenda.stm. Thanks in advance for your input. The conference is next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Anything in advance of that would be greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi everyone, I hope you are well and had a good weekend. Apologies for the late notice, but both Jordan Burris and Eric Thompson will be unable to make the call today. So we will cancel and plan to meet next month. Please take a look at the Wiki page, https://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEIA/overview?homepageId=218497230, and be sure you have signed up to be included on the mailing list. There are two workspaces set up for Terminology and Taxonomy and another one for Measuring ROI. If you have things to contribute to those topics, you should be able to upload them there. If not, please email staff(a)kantarainitiative.org to make sure you have access. Please make sure you sign the Group Participation Agreement so that you can be added to the mail list - there are several folks who have not done that yet. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks everyone. Best, Kay *Kay Chopard | **Executive Director* *Twitter:* @KantaraNews *LinkedIn:* @KantaraInitiative
