Mission
The Mission of the Yoma Ecosystem Task Force is to write a V1 Governance Framework for layers 2-4 by end September 2021. The ToIP TF will work alongside other Yoma stakeholders and will have youth agency and participation at its core.
In Scope for TF:
- Governance Framework for layers 2, 3 & 4 of the ToIP stack starting with the Ecosystem GF and including provisions for Credentials and Provider Governance Frameworks
- Maintaining core documentation, including principle document and controlled documents, managing delivery plan
- English version of the documents
Out of Scope for TF:
- Governance model and operating model for the Yoma social enterprise (will be a Yoma legal entity instead of a group of collaborators), RLabs are currently the owner of the Yoma Platform, but separate legal enterprise will be set up which will have its own governance mechanism. Likely there will be a Yoma Foundation which will also be able to receive funds, under the Foundation will be a social enterprise. Different GF but linked. Will be the GA for the GF could be either.)
- Convening and managing on the ground youth engagement. (Current approach to UX is that we have 3 reference groups of young people, 1 for UX, 2 from Better Together Africa, 3rd reference group for youth on the move, young migrants. A sub-set will support us as reference group for GF)
- Writing Legal agreements or contracts
- Future maintenance, operation and iterations of the governance framework
- Other language versions of the documents
