1.       OpenID Certification Program Update
Don is building a certification roadmap for 2019.  It should enable new board 
members to quickly get up to speed on the certification program.  We are 
building the certification budget out of sets of Statements of Work (SoWs) with 
contractors.

We are planning for transferring the FAPI certification from OBIE to the OIDF. 
We intend to have the plan done by the end of the year.  Don will review the 
financials with us by the end of the year, including a proposed pricing model 
and projected revenues.  He is reviewing the draft budget with John (our 
treasurer) this upcoming weekend.

Mike reported on new OpenID Connect certification work.  The Form Post Profile 
will be moved from pilot to production after a few more people have tested the 
tests.  Hans has deployed 3rd-party initiated login tests.  We need to announce 
those to the working group and describe them in the instructions.  Roland is 
building logout tests. This work will probably also improve the quality of the 
logout specs.

We are adding additional certification team developers to build up our 
capacity.  Tomas Pazderka, a PyOIDC maintainer, will start by backstopping 
Roland.  Serkan Özkan will start by backstopping Hans.  The additional 
developers should be a help when we take over the FAPI certification work.


2.       FAPI Update
Nat gave us a FAPI update.  A lot of work is happening in MODRNA finishing the 
CIBA spec.  FAPI is using that as well.  Berlin Group seems to be going their 
own way, and as John observed, leaving a security hole in their protocol.  
Torsten Lodderstedt and John are attending a Berlin Group meeting in Paris 
tomorrow.

The FAPI working group is starting schema work.  We are working on an FS-ISAC 
liaison relationship.  We need to monitor the progress in Australia.


3.       Board Elections Update
Mike Leszcz is driving this from the standard elections template.  Mike, John, 
and Dale's terms end soon.  We will run the election in January, as usual.


4.       Meeting Calendar
A meeting calendar was sent to the board.  There will be face-to-face board 
meetings at RSA and Identiverse.  We agreed to add a FAPI workshop to be 
scheduled in Australia, given their adoption of FAPI.  We've invited all of our 
contractors and consultants to EIC, including the certification contractors.


5.       Budget
The certification budget will be a separate and large part of the overall 
budget - commensurate with the scale of the opportunities.


6.       Research & Education Working Group
Mike & John met with some of the R&E WG members in Utrecht on Monday.  They are 
starting schema work.  They will also be profiling the OpenID Connect 
Federation spec for R&E use.  Nat will encourage some Japanese R&E people to 
participate.


7.       OIDF Japan
OIDF Japan celebrated the 10th year of the organization yesterday.  OIDF Japan 
plans a 5 year celebration of OpenID Connect in February, 2019.  The OIDF 
should consider marketing activities for this anniversary as well.


8.       Know Your Customer (KYC) and Verified Claims work
Nat reported that there's interest in KYC work.  There's an EU EKYC group 
producing recommendations by Spring next near.  We should liaise closely with 
them.

Torsten proposed a Verified JWT Claims syntax at IIW.  He contributed it to the 
OpenID Connect working group.


9.       Self-Issued and Self-Sovereign Identity
Self-Issued identities can be used to build "self-sovereign" identities.


10.   Implicit Flow
There are vigorous discussions about the use of the Implicit Flow in the OAuth 
working group.  Hopefully a balanced view of pros and cons will be presented in 
the BCP draft, including the mitigations that are part of OpenID Connect.  
People are encouraged to participate in that discussion.


11.   iGov
Mike failed to announce the iGov vote on the schedule published at 
https://openid.net/2018/10/17/public-review-period-for-two-proposed-igov-implementers-drafts/.
  Given the Christmas holidays, he now plans to announce the vote in late 
December and start the vote in early January.
