Mission

The mission of  the TSWG Technology Architecture Task Force (TATF) is to draft 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 original public document defining the ToIP stack. Note: this specification is intended to serve as a direct a counterpart to the ToIP Governance Architecture Specification deliverable from the GSWG Governance Architecture TF. (The full set of first-generation ToIP Governance Stack specification are described in this ToIP blog post.)

Deliverables

#1: ToIP Technology Architecture Specification

The primary deliverable of this Task Force is the  ToIP Technical Architecture Specification—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 specification will lay the overarching foundation for one or more subsequent ToIP specifications that will specify protocols and interoperability requirements for each layer.

#2: ToIP Interoperability Test Cases

A second deliverable of this Task Force is ToIP Interoperability Test Cases (also initially being drafted as a Google doc). This is intended to evolve into the overall specification for the test cases that can be implemented by a commercial-grade test harness.

#3: ToIP Primer for Policymakers

A third deliverable of this Task Force is a document written explicitly for policymakers, governing authorities, analysts, and other non-technical audiences who need to deeply understand the purpose, uses, and implications of the ToIP stack but do not need (or want) to dive into the technical details. Work on this document has not yet commenced, but a link will be added here as soon as it has.
