Agenda Items and Notes (including all relevant links)

Time	Agenda Item	Lead	Notes
3 min	Start recording Welcome & antitrust notice New member introductions Agenda review	Chairs	Antitrust Policy Notice: Attendees are reminded to adhere to the meeting agenda and not participate in activities prohibited under antitrust and competition laws. Only members of ToIP who have signed the necessary agreements are permitted to participate in this activity beyond an observer role. New Members: Kalin has been in CBDC for years, a longtime member of ToIP, but now mostly advising governments about decentralized identity and credentials—with a focus on interoperability.
2 min	Review of previous action items	Chairs	None from the last meeting.
15 mins	Diagram & terminology	Wenjing Chu	Wenjing started by showing screenshot #1 below to get feedback on the terminology it uses. Feedback was that the diagram could also included the term "message" at the bottom to clarify that a TSP message consists of the envelope + payload + signature. The other feedback is that the diagram is so helpful in terms of a visual overview of what the spec covers that it would be very helpful to have it included in the spec. Ed Eykholt had questions about how all of the following would be handled: broadcast (multiple receivers?) routing attachments (multiple signatures) tunneling (message composition), perhaps recursion Wenjing clarified that the diagram is a "test vector" diagram that shows one way that the protocol can be used. He said all of Ed's questions/examples could be covered by other test vectors that could all be included in an appendix. Drummond Reed suggested that Ed start one or more GitHub discussions that discuss questions about each test vector.
10 mins	VID discussion	Wenjing Chu	We discussed VID encoding. We had agreed to have a VID type, which means we need a VID type code table. If we have a four character type code, then the first character indicates that it is a type code, and the next 3 characters are the code. That gives us a code space of 18 bits (2 to the 18th), which should easily be large enough. Sam Smith proposes that a null type code would mean the VID is a URN. We discussed the pluses and minuses of having a type code table. We agreed that we will need to have a governance mechanism.
5 mins	Prep for the Implementers Draft	Wenjing Chu	Our goal is still to publish the Implementers Draft this month. Wenjing is working on the conversation to Spec-Up. Drummond reported that the Concepts and Terminology WG is almost done with new Spec-Up code that will support external references to other glossaries—and that the ToIP Glossary will be published as a Spec-Up document to support that functionality.
	X.509 VID TF Report	Eric Scouten	Eric reported that he has converted the original did:x509 method spec into Spec-Up format and will show it tomorrow. That original spec is no longer being worked on by Microsoft, so they are fine with us moving forward. We discussed the Spec-Up editing process and how the GitHub Actions that automatically publish to GitHub Pages. Eric very much appreciated the Loom video that Darrell published last month.
	ACDC TF Spec public review	All	We reviewed the first draft blog post proposed by the ACDC TF for public review of their suite of specifications. There was a discussion about the dependencies between these three specifications. Darrell O'Donnell drew the following diagram suggesting the relationships. ACTION: Drummond Reed and Darrell O'Donnell to have a discussion with the ACDC leadership about the length of the public review and the depth of the announcement blog post.
	Trust Registry TF Report	Darrell O'Donnell Eric Scouten	Darrell and Eric reported on presentations they had done, along with Mathieu Glaude, this morning to ICANN. Here is a recording of the meeting. The basic message were about trust on the Internet. They were well received and swamped with questions. Since all four of them met at ToIP and reported on work going on at ToIP, they felt it was good exposure for the ToIP Foundation as a whole.
