    • Jo Spencer first and second (these were discussed in the APAC meeting last week)
    • Tim Bouma: first, second, third
    • Wenjing Chu
      • Suggestion that we need both a stack diagram and an component diagram
    • Darrell O'Donnell here
    • isaac henderson here
      • Layer 1 is the transport layer
      • Layer 3 is the transaction layer — the "exchange layer"
      • Layer 3 is the trust registry layer to anchor an ecosystem
      • OIDC, SAML, and LDAP are integrated below the stack, so the ToIP stack acts as 
    • Daniel Bachenheimer here
      • This came from the KTDI (Known-Traveller Digital Identity) initiative
      • The program was testing travelers between Canada and the Netherlands
      • It would process passports, COVID-19 credentials, and boarding passes
      • It involved governments, airlines, travel companies
      • The goal was a completely touchless experience
      • It was Indy based, using a private permissioned network
      • More info is available at kdti.org. 
    • Antti Kettunen showed his new diagram about Trusted Interactions
      • This is an analysis of all the inputs needed for trusted interactions
      • It includes UI/UX that adds up to "trusted experience".
      • This could add a lot more depth to the "trust task" layers.
      • There was consensus that this type of diagram would helps show us the many dimensions.
      • More information is available in Antti's LinkedIn post.
    • DECISION: We will include more than one type of diagram in the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification. 
      • The baseline requirement is a protocol stack diagram.
      • We also need a component diagram that shows the components at each layer and their interfaces.
      • Antti's diagram is more of a use cases diagram or functional requirements diagram.
      • What other types of diagrams do we need?
    • ACTION: ALL — Over the US Thanksgiving break, think about what other types of diagrams we need in addition to a protocol stack diagram, then if possible add your suggested version of other diagrams to the ToIP Protocol Stack Diagrams slide deck.
