Introduction

...

1. Improve accessibility and user experience of products and services being made within the ToIP community (and the wider decentralized identity and digital trust community).  

2. Promote inclusion and diversity by ensuring decentralised identity and digital trust technologies are being designed, built and deployed inclusively, with awareness of wider social contexts & human subjectivity. 

3. Challenge the status quothat is predominately white, male, western, centralised and tech-centric models of identity,   to acknowledge and represent all individuals and actors in society, independent of their cultural, social and technological background in each of the dimensions of identity: trust, risk, privacy and security. 

4. Give voice to people by amplifying and articulating human requirements for trusted digital infrastructure and channelling human requirements to other ToIP working groups and the wider community. 

...

1. Inclusive by Design. The HXWG’s approach, process, membership and operation shall follow the principles of Inclusive Design to enable the ToIP community to serve the widest possible community of ecosystem participants.  We inherit the ‘Inclusive by Design’ principles of section 2.9 from the Sovrin Governance Framework V2.0 (included in this charter as Appendix D).
2. Cross pollination in ToIP. The HXWG shall actively seek to inject Human Experience into other ToIP Working Groups and Task Forces 
3. Respectful by Design.  The HXWG recognizes that diversity of participation is not sufficient to give voice to minority or excluded groups, so we need to find ways of enabling communities to own and control the design process and its outcomes for themselves.
