Mission

The mission of  the TSWG Technical TSWG Technology Architecture Task Force (TATF) is to draft a TSS (ToIP Standard Specification) a ToIP specification that defines the overall technical requirements for the four layers of the ToIP stack. This TF will be specifically focused on adapting the current version of the original Hyperledger RFC defining the ToIP stack to become our foundational TSS. Note: this TSS this specification is intended to serve as a direct a counterpart to the ToIP Governance Architecture TSSSpecification deliverable from the GSWG Governance Architecture TF.

Deliverables

1. ToIP Technical Architecture TSSSpecification—a specification of the overall architectural requirements for each of the four layers of the ToIP stack and how they are abstracted from the layer below. It is anticipated that this TSS this specification will lay the overarching foundation for four more future TSS—one ToIP specifications—one for each layer of the stack—that will specify detailed interoperability requirements for each layer.
