ACTION: Judith Fleenorto create a Slack channel and a Google doc to start gathering suggested topics for a series of blog posts on eIDAS 2.0.
ACTION: Drummond Reedto move the agenda item for Bart Suichiesto present his view of the stack in next week's NA/EU meeting.
ACTION: Wenjing Chuto prepare for next week's call separate diagrams of the reference architecture view, where one is the stack implemented entirely on a local device such as a mobile phone (and thus the VDR is a local secure enclave or TPM
ACTION: Wenjing Chuto collaborate with Drummond Reedon deciding how incorporating the reference view of the stack should be reflected in the structure of the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification.
ACTION: Drummond Reed to send Daniel Hardmana link to Wenjing's presentation and reference diagram for his feedback.
ACTION: Drummond Reedto add to the storyline a requirement that Layer 2 must enable discovery, description, and basic negotiation of endpoints such that the endpoints can elevate to a Layer 3 protocol.
ACTION: Drummond Reedto add to the storyline that we want to include examples of the use of the interfaces at each layer to help them understand them.
ACTION: ALL to continue work on thestoryline slide deck(Google Slides) to see if we can complete the storyline narrative for the entire document within the next two weeks.

Update on storyline deck draft of the ToIP Technology Architecture Spec
Vlad asked whether we are going to have to make a choice between DIDComm and KERI.
Drummond said there is an ongoing dialog between the DIDComm and KERI architects about how they can grow closer together.
Darrell shared his view that a number of features of KERI will migrate into DIDComm.
Vlad suggested that if we focus on patterns, we will find out which ones we need.
Bart suggested that we need to focus on architectural requirements for trustworthy systems, and then see which technologies fit those requirements.
Antti said that we will also need to explain how ToIP-based systems fit with existing systems. The patterns should work for either a DIDComm-based stack or a KERI-based stack. Both can produce a "trustworthy relationship with the unknown".
Vlad suggested that we might want to introduce the idea of "best patterns".
Drummond shared that as we finish the storyline deck with all our requirements, we should engage in a dialog with both the DIDComm community and the KERI community to get their input and feedback and see what each can contribute.
Wenjing will present Part 2 of the presentation he started last week about a reference architecture for the stack.
Wenjing made the point about "the layer you cannot skip". With the TCP/IP stack, that is the IP layer. With the ToIP stack, that is Layer 2.
Our stack needs to cover compute, store, networking — Wenjing has put these all in Layer 1. The requirements for each one needs to be specified.
Wenjing changed the Layer 1 name to "primitives".
Each one of these L1 services can be local or in the cloud. At one end, all can be local, and at the other end, they could all be in the cloud.
Bart said "I like the approach suggested here: first talk fit, then later talk function. It helps frame what type of problem is being solved (reference) for engineers, and then goes into details about the options (stack)"
Drummond will not be able to attend next week's meetings due to travel.
