    2. Kalyan Kulkarni introduced a new member (Ravikant) who would be interested in contributing to this.
  3. Status of Governance Architecture TF
    1. The group has been generating interest in the available wiki pages and the content will be converted into Markdown format to prepare them as a deliverable
    2. Dan Gisolfi , Steven Milstein and Victor Syntez have been working on making the repository available as discussed in the deliverables process
    3. Sovrin, GLEIF, GS1 and Lumedic are working on Governance Frameworks which use the framework provided by GA TF including the metamodel

  4. Governance Stack Design Principles Pre-Draft Deliverable.
  5. Brief on timeline and collaboration plan for the GSWG + TSWG 5-deliverable package
  6. Principles of SSI (Draft Deliverable and proposed Task Force) - please listen to recording about the background and context to the genesis of Principles of SSI (PoSSI)
    1. Victor Syntez How will ToIP check and/or enforce if an organization is really following SSI principles?

  7. Decentralized SSI Governance white paper (for consideration as Pre-Draft Deliverable)
    1. Rieks Joosten has been working on this topic. Being considered as a deliverable. Needs volunteers to sign-up and review (using the Google Doc to complete this)
  8. Governance Stack Design Principles (Draft Deliverable)
    1. Being worked on by Victor Syntez - focusing on how to make it easy to consume and adopt the documents. Keeping the focus on the design aspect of the design principles would be important and significant.
    2. A GitHub based walk-through of the flow for comments, review and contribution is also available in the recording (check around 40th minute)
  9. Recap from ToIPF Webinar - ToIP & Government
    1. Good set of talks from experts. Highly recommended to watch the recordings.
  10. Digital Trust Ecosystems
    1. "ecosystems of ecosystem" are a distinct possibility at Layer 4 (of the ToIP diagram). But what does it mean? In case of multiple interoperable governance frameworks - the commonality present in that network of systems create an ecosystem - the natural grouping means that one does not need to do a soup-to-nuts definition of the entire ecosystem. They can be re-used among sub-ecosystems.
  11. Review of Decisions and Action Items
