## Agenda

## Notes
- Gartner recap
    - Main stage session was similar in content to the last 2 Gartner events plus a bit of a victory lap that we are now in the 60 day review period
    - About 75-100 people attended
    - Small glitch with the demo - need to mention timeout constraints on the IDP side in the upcoming profile document
    - Starting to see some awareness of where AuthZEN fits into zero trust architectures
    - Twenty (20) implementations!!
    - Room layout for the demo sessions could have been sorted better for crowd control
    - We could have done a better job briefing the analysts ahead of time to make sure they have AuthZEN content in their presentations
    - Atul - there may be a better way to structure the demo sessions, such as having vendors do a 5-10 minute demo of their implementation
    - Going forward, we should try to uplevel our messaging to go beyond the technical aspects and include the characteristics that are important to the CISO/CIO audience
- OpenID notice: https://openid.net/notice-of-vote-to-approve-proposed-authorization-api-1-final-specification/
- OpenID Foundation vote for community members - sign in to your OIDF account and nominate or second the nomination of someone (you can also nominate yourself)
- AuthZEN co-chair changes: Omri and Gerry will be resigning from their co-chair positions after the 1.0 spec is finalized. It's been an honor for us to work with this group and now there is the opportunity for others to step forward and continue the important work ahead of us. We have spoken to a few people who are interested in becoming a co-chair to help David B - if there are others who are interested, please reach out to us! We will have a working group vote on prospective co-chairs on Jan 8th.
- Next meeting is Jan 8!
