Meeting Notes

Agenda & Discussion Notes

1. Decentralized SSI Governance, The Missing Link in Automating Business Decisions

   1. @Scott Perry - will bring to April 23rd meeting of the Trust Assurance TF for discussion

   2. @Karl Kneis  - was approved as joint deliverable between GSWG and EFWG - what are the current caveats?

   3. @Scott Perry - overall there are three discussion points that need to be resolved in order to avoid future conflict regarding definitions and/or views

      1. What is Trust Assurance - definition being brought to Trust Assurance TF - work to be initiated

      2. Future views of decentralized trust assurance introduced that need more concrete development

      3. A clearly defined end state and example to illustrate

   4. @Rieks Joosten - there are some ideas that require broad feedback from broad ToIP community and worth pursing - as not aligned with traditional thought process

2. White papers ToIP WP0010: Introduction to ToIP White Paper and ToIP WP0020: Digital Trust Market Place FAQ are led by members who are working in the Good Health Pass WG - work on white papers will resume once Good Health Pass workload is manageable

3. @Karen Hand -

   1. Review of submission process and content requirements 

   2. @David Luchuk created Google Drive for white paper collaboration space

   3. Is a need to determine/decide who will be responsible for how white papers in development or those published are curated and/or submitted into GH project boards and white paper portal

4. Discussion - Process to Rendered Papers - @Rieks Joosten commented on similar process being explored in C&T WG - ingestion of document with specific patterns/terms/etc.. into an internal format where content can be exported into a rendered object. Comment was made - need to ensure as the WPTF and C&T process matures - they are the same. Remarks:

   1. @Victor Syntez - using plugins, will take a wp in Google Doc - to translate into usable markdown

   2. For Index - mostly scripted

   3. GH is not working for the community as a collaboration tool for white papers

   4. GH is a bottleneck for ToIP deliverables (evidenced by lack of ToIP published deliverables such as the Decentralized Resource Identifiers in the Research Landscape white paper) and a deterrent to members in the writing of white papers

   5. Either a dedicated resource to manage deliverables in GH needs to be established or change deliverable process

5. Discussion on Approval Process

   1. For white papers - approval process from SC needs to happen without need to be an agenda item - for example

      1. White paper sent to Communications Committee for editorial review/approval - request in form of email with link to Google doc or format where comments/revisions can be posted/tracked as well as "Request for Approval by MM-DD-YEAR"

      2. Once approved by CC - request for final approval sent to SC with link to link to Google doc or format where comments/revisions can be posted/tracked as well as "Request for Approval by MM-DD-YEAR"

   2. Papers should only be submitted in full to GH once it receives final approval from SC

6. @Karl Kneis will use this approach to forward final approval for the Decentralized Resource Identifiers in the Research Landscape white paper and the COVID-19 Credentials Initiative (“CCI”) Governance Framework V2.0

7. @Karl Kneis - suggested future effort to send promotional invitations to WG's and TF's to encourage the publication of white papers by ToIP members - many excellent thought leaders and ideas that need to be captured
