White Papers - Extend ideas on how to approach EC TOIP White Papers - Karen J Hand, PhD Precision Strategic Solutions

  • Strong agreement that we can start working on White Papers now
  • Every Use Case shared with the community is a potential White Paper
  • The WG will establish review process and terms of reference for white paper development - (WG Scope, Conflicts of interest, Alignment with TOIP mission)
  • Nomination to develop “The Importance of Transparency in the Food Chain” as a TOIP EFWG Use case
  • Consider potential for umbrella White Paper uses cases where multiple industries solve common issues with VC and Trust - For example Supply Chain Ecosystems

  • TOIP Communications Working Group will provide templates and support

Ecosystem Flow Template - Work in Progress

EFWG requirements for GSWG - Need to define list requirements and deliverables for the GSWG -What policies and procedures and templates does an Ecosystem need to form, operate and grow.?

Key points to consider:

  • Green vs Brownfield Ecosystems - How will TOIP methods merge with existing frameworks?
  • Focus on business and consumer friendly language to explain governance and trust frameworks
  • Consider Ecosystem boundaries and "Cross Domain Trust". How will multiple diverse ecosystems connect? This is a primary target of TOIP
  • Existing governance frameworks operating within the TOIP community today can be used as prototypes to harvest GSWG requirements
  • Entidad can provide a first prototype use case to help define GSWG requirements
  • Will publish a new EFWG requirements page to collaborate and capture GSWG deliverables

Ecosystem Definition - Please review updated definition marked as "V1.0 What is a ToIP Ecosystem?" on the Workflow and Concepts wiki page. First final draft definition will be submitted to the Glossary by 02, October.

Thursday, 3 September - Session: Canonical Templates Flow 

Thursday 27, August Meeting

Meeting Notes

Agenda

In this meeting will re-focus on the canonical use case template, submission to GIT, and related deliverable. Proposed agenda topics include:

  • Introduce new members
  • What have we learned from the community use cases to help fortify the standard template?
  • What additional flows should be added to the template categories? Need volunteers to update the template.
  • Ecosystem roles and terms - what recommendations should we make to the Governance WG use cases and Roles Task force?
  • Ecosystem Operations or Lifecycle - We have a pending recommendation to include operations in the process. How should we do that?
  • "Implementation plan" template has been cited as a new deliverable for the EC WG - What does this mean and who can start this work?
  • White paper deliverable - Call for ideas and actions to initiate. This could be premature, but the use case reviews illuminate recurring themes that may help us find common ground for white paper subjects.
