Other Comments:

The IAWG has a large amount of work affiliated with the accreditation and certification program and will be releasing several documents in the coming quarters. Participation is strong across geographies and verticals, with excellent collaboration. There are numerous draft documents currently in process in our "working drafts" section which are driving the bulk of our meeting discussions.
