IEG: Discussion Groups

Description (as of October 2024):    The IEG Discussion Groups are ongoing, monthly, online discussions of topics of interest to IEG participants. 

 

Add/Drop:

  • Participation in the IEG Discussion Groups is open to anyone who can legally conduct business with NIST.
  • To be added to (dropped from) the mailing list for ongoing discussions, please send an email to ieg-ii [at] nist.gov (ieg-ii[at]nist[dot]gov)  using either ADD or DROP below
    • These links will create an email template:   ADD     DROP
    • Please include your name, affiliation and an affiliated email address in the body
    • You will need a Google Account and a GitHub account to access our shared resources. 
    • If your Google and GitHub accounts are associated with a different email account than the one you are normally affiliated with, please provide those addresses and your GitHub ID.
    • Applications from addresses that are associated with SPAM and/or malicious activity may be ignored by mail filters.
    • An add request will subscribe you to Discussion Groups and the General Distribution address lists.

If you were previously (prior to October 2024) a participant in one of the discussion groups your information should have been transferred to the consolidated address list and shared resources and you should not need to do a fresh ADD.

Shared Resources:

We maintain a shared private GitHub repo and a shared private Google Drive folder.  Access is granted to participants after submission of an ADD request. 

 

History:   From 2021 until 2024, there were three discussion groups:

  • Iris Examiner Training
  • Camera Selection Guidance: Government
  • Camera Selection Guidance: Commercial

Those groups were retired in 2024 because they had largely succeeded in their tasks.  Two new groups were created

  1. Forensic Iris
    1. The MFT and S/N work in the Camera Selection Guidance: Commercial was transferred to a task under this group.
  2. Cameras & Systems

At that time,  the resources for the groups were consolidated,  as were the mailing lists.  The resources from the initial three discussion groups are now archived in their own folders at the top of the new shared GitHub  repo and  Google Drive folder that support the new groups.  All existing participants should get notices as the new resources were brought online.
