The call is scheduled for 13:30 Eastern US time, February 15th, 2008. As some of you may know, the SA SIG was formed to continue the work of the former Strong Authentication Expert Group (SAEG) of the Liberty Alliance in an environment that is open to public participation. As former Chair of the SAEG, I will continue the work started by that group and as the new Chair of the SA SIG. We will also take nominations for any person who would like to serve as a Co-Chair of the group in the first meeting. To summarize the goals of the group, the SA SIG is responsible for: - Driving discussion of interoperability of multiple authentication mechanisms in Federated and/or Web services and/or stand-alone digital identity architectures/environments - Creating, maintaining and contributing to a public wiki that will grow as a repository for all things strong authentication, and systems analyses of existing SA solutions with regard to interoperability - Serving as a focal point for discussion of strong authentication (e.g., corporate remote access, wireless LAN access, online banking, etc.), and feeding back into the Technology Expert Group of the Liberty Alliance as necessary to recommend enhancements to Liberty?s Federation and/or Web Services Frameworks The first meeting will be focused on the following discussions: - SA SIG Charter Can be found on SA SIG Wiki Page here: http://wiki.projectliberty.org/index.php/StrongAuthSIG - Co-Chair open nominations - Liberty Alliance and its goals - SA SIG's relationship with other Liberty groups. - Call Schedule and Frequency moving forward The dial in information for the SA SIG meetings is: US toll-free number: 866-469-3239 US toll number: 650-429-3300 Meeting Number or Access Code: 49739461# Corresponding international dial in number can be found here: http://wiki.projectliberty.org/index.php/IntnlDialInNum Talk with you all soon, Rob Marano ----------------------------------- Joni Brennan IEEE-ISTO Liberty Alliance Project Operations Manager voice:+1 732-226-4223 email: joni at projectliberty.org
