Other Comments:

The Information Sharing Group meets each Monday by tele-conference, and to date has had 13 meetings where minutes or notes have been
taken. As this was the first Kantara Group 'out the door', we had multiple meetings before quorum processes et al were established, but
now have that under control.
Our main focus to date has been in building out a complex scenario where we map out customer and supplier engagement mechanics in a
futuristic, volunteered personal information enabled 'buying a car' situation. When we have completed this, we will document the underlying and generic capabilities that will form the specification that we take forward.
We will shortly begin a second strand of work around the creation of a standardised approach to individual-driven information sharing
agreements.

Secretary Note: The "Information Sharing Work Group" was originally named "User-Driven Volunteered Personal Information (UDVPI) Work Group"
