  • ACTION: ALL MEMBERS to continue to review sections 7 through 11 of the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification to add any final comments or suggestions.
  • ACTION: Jo Spencer - proposal on EndPoint Systems/Intermediary Systems communication Req's (discuss on Slack)
  • ACTION: Neil Thomson - proposed communication used by EndPoint Systems and Supporting Systems, on-node Support System inter-communication and cross-network interaction within a Support System.  
  • ACTION: Drummond Reed to raise an GitHub on this topic [[DO: WHAT TOPIC??]] as it will require more in-depth discussion that is feasible in Google docs (and because we are now trying to move all new issues to GitHub).
  • ACTION: Neil Thomson update the TATF "design principles" to include "detailing" of Use cases from Tech Arch through test cases.
  • ACTION: Neil Thomson update the Use Case table to include column Normative Requirement(s) involved in each use case
  • ACTION: Darrell O'Donnell to suggest a replacement for Figure 2 (development progression)
  • ACTION: All to review Jo's model (below) for future discussion
15 minsReview proposed ToIP mental model

Review proposed "Mental Model" for components in the ToIP System model - Diagrams #1 (below)

Consensus - a good starting point. This can be reviewed, extended, etc. as a separate deliverable - nothing is currently dependent on this diagram.

15 minsReview any comments on section 4 before moving to MD/Git

See this Google Doc for proposed revisions to section 4 

COMPLETE! READY for Doc→ Github

Action Item → Neil Thomson create a Project management google doc (to start) to discuss

  • details of process across the different tracks/work to complete the tech arch spec (issues & resolution, updates) 
  • A list of related deliverables and their dependencies. This includes
    • ToIP primer for Policy Makers
    • Design Principles
    • Use cases

Action Item - Neil Thomson - update use case strategy for the Tech Arch  - need for in-layer, component-specific, and cross-layer use cases. The latter are critical to overall compliance testing and interoperability.

15TAS REVIEW

Discussion of progress on the working draft of the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification:

Discussion on revamping the Layer diagram (to be continued in the APAC call

 - issue - The overall layer diagram includes Layer 1 having Transport, Encryption/signing services and Commitments (verifiable identifiers, etc.). Yet all the illustrative examples in Section 7 only include Transport in the diagrams. How do we change the diagram to better reflect the inter-layer and cross-layer dependencies and interactions of all types. The following is a partial proposal:

 

Much discussion on this diagram, without resolution. Possibly split into different diagrams to illustrate 

  • Interaction Protocol stack
  • Trust support stack
  • Authenticity stack (cryptographic trust dependencies)
5 mins
  • Review decisions/action items
  • Planning for next meeting
