June 4, 2020 Executive Committee Call Minutes Present: Don Thibeau, Executive Director Mike Jones Nat Sakimura Bjorn Hjelm George Fletcher John Bradley
Visitors: Mike Leszcz, OpenID Foundation Tom Smedinghoff, Locke Lord LLP 1. Letter to OBIE about FAPI certifications We received a response to our letter to OBIE from the trustee Imran Gulamhuseinwala. It did say that he's encouraging the CMA9 to all certify. Producing a "dashboard" of CMA9 certification progress has been requested by OBIE; this would only be possible with permission from the CMA9 banks. It's noted that banks have long payment cycles. We could ask for payment before substantial support is provided. We can talk about possibilities on the next certification call. 2. Certification Program Update We have started the migration to the Java conformance suite for OpenID Connect. See https://openid.net/certification/migration/. We provide economic incentives for people to run both conformance suites for new certifications while we're still testing the tests. We haven't received any new Connect certifications yet. We are working on making certification results fully self-contained. There are still tests missing from the Java suite for a few profiles. 3. Budget Discussion We are looking at ways to conserve cash during the economic downturn. For one, we are looking at ways to be prudent in our certification costs. Mike Leszcz and Don developed a plan with the certification team. Roland Hedberg's Python support contract concludes at the end of this month. Filip agreed for us to not renew his minimal contract. We will retain Hans Zandbelt, Joseph Heenan, and Serkan Özkan with adjusted contracts. We are roughly halving our monthly run rate for certification costs. We have used actual figures for 2020 thus far to produce updated budget projections for the rest of the year. We are saving substantial amounts money by not having travel. 4. Other Business The European Commission has requested us to present at a closed financial sector workshop on June 18, with open banking being a topic. 5. Next Meeting There will be a board call on Thursday, June 11th at 3pm Pacific Time.
