Issue Capture & Resolution
Chairs (Darrell)
Discuss how we will capture information.
GitHub Issues - preferred method
EMAIL - IPR Concerns (content only allows members only) - we have EXISTING METHODS
Public Review - presentation will drive reviewers to ToIP membership due to IPR concerns
PARKED FOR NOW
Non-verifiable credentials "We still don't have a use case for dealing with non-verifiable credentials (or an example of useful non-verifiable credentials)." Neil
Neil has some examples working in his head at the moment.

Next Steps (APAC Discussion)
See the APAC attendee list
Given that the content of the top-level Tech Arch Spec is approaching its "first complete draft" state, some discussion was held on the next steps, which may be pursued in parallel:
Tech Arch Spec - continued comments and refining in GitHub, with a small number of authors, with comments directed on completing the first full draft to be presented on Sept 14 in Dublin, plus identifying larger issues to be addressed in the second draft.
Whilst having the "issue" in GitHub is useful, ideally, the details would include the section wording, diagrams etc., so that the issue can be read independently and not have to go back to the spec. Is this going to be copied through into the placeholder issues?
Use Cases - review the Tech Arch Spec use cases and identify gaps and use case topics which require that one or more specific use cases be created with an eye to addressing:
2 or 3 "80/20" use cases
7 + use cases to stress the architecture (e.g., notification of VC revocation, secure messaging, registries, etc.)
It is suggested that each Use Case be captured (in detail) in separate documents, which may contain variations or related sub-use cases. Discussion on the impact on the Tech Arch Spec will first be discussed in the Use Case document and any conclusions on the impact on the Arch Spec will be rolled up after closure on the Use Case definition.
Component and non-Component Detailed Specifications (Services, Features, Capabilities - e.g. commercial model and value exchange) - essentially the next level of details on the Tech Architecture will be to detail the components defined in the Tech Arch Spec and specific detailed topics that are identified from the Component and overall Arch Spec that need attention in some detail
Additional roles in managing the Tech Arch "Document Set" to include:
A Tech Arch Spec issue, comment screener and manager (mostly about GitHub) - details TBD, but to at least include asking for more details on unclear issues and comments, consolidating issues and comments and generally managing the resolution of issues and comments with the authors. It is expected that resolving the issues will be discussed with the entire Tech Arch contributors group on Thursday NA/EU and APAC meetings
A document set project manager, with the role of coordinating cross-document feedback and coordinating reviews and release decision points (including managing the issues to be resolved to pass a given release date.
Integrity and Authenticity Discussion - It was agreed that these are part of the Design Principles for the ToIP Stack, plus either the ToIP or Tech Arch Terms Wiki's. These terms should either be removed from the Tech Arch Spec or references provided to the Design Principles or Terms Wiki(s).

Action Items
DARRELL - get link to PDF in GitHub
DARRELL - add issue for e.g. Input received about the TAS being a "reference architecture" as opposed to a "specification".
Treat as input and then what? Won't name the speakers and will
Neil Thomson - ensure that documentation (Design Principles for ToIP or Tech Arch Terms Wiki's) is clear on Integrity, Authenticity, Non-Repudiation, Privacy and Confidentiality
