  • Package Plan - Content Review
    

    • DP0006 Technology Stack (TSWG)

      1. Focus on overall design principles for ToIP Foundation. Since are focused on guidance and not missioned to prescribe – what does this mean?
      2. Focus is on TIP independent and stack layer independent. So this is a separate full-stack deliverable.

    • DP0004 Privacy by Design (TSWG)
    • DP0005 Decentralization by Design (TSWG)

    • WP0020 ToIP Digital Trust Marketplace FAQ (EFWG)
  • Review of TSWG Repo dependencies: See Deliverables Portal 
    • What is missing? 
      • It is suggested that a DRAFT proposal on an example TIP, like Saturn-V, be at least in the package in repo format as work underway. 
    • Do we have active resources on each planned TSWG item?
• Triage GitHub Issues

Action items

• Move SOS to Trello Boards for 2021

• Sam Smith - Task Force Proposal for a meeting to be scheduled for January. 
  • Verifiable Authorizations: Mapping vCreds spec to authorization semantics. Positioning this concept with respect to other industry activity. 
  • Drummond noted that this thread was ongoing in the GitHub for the W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 1.0 spec, and that it was highly relevant to this proposed TF
• Set Agenda for next meeting
