Deliverable Overview

J. Townsend

Public Identity Utilities for Digital Trust Ecosystems - an Overview

Assessment on several layer ones - existing research activity merge; solid set of criteria under UFWG

SBA Research (cyber security) - didn't even criteria, used W3C document - rubric for evaluating DiD methods. took criteria to evaluate

level of decentralization but expanded to security, privacy et al; criteria has adapted since evaluation

would be good to build upon - questions as to which DiD method should be used; work has concluded did once based on research collaboration

Utility Project Implementation Guide Task Force

Create the getting started guide for prospective Utility Projects.

@Lynn Gray Bendixsen  (lead) 

@Dave McKay

 

IG0029: Utility Project Guide

A new repo has been created and the TF has issued its first objective. Lynn seeks assistance on repo publishing with Mac.

TF is discussing outline and questions to be answered for prospective projects. 

Draft Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zysi79y5vxNBxhL7yI0M6FAViC_E2VUutUfT5Eac7CA/edit?usp=sharing

Initial released version: https://trustoverip.github.io/IG0029-utility-project-guide/

Best Practices Task Force

Analyze Project Interviews, establish list of Best Practices and submit each BP using ToIP Deliverables Process.

@mathieu  (lead) 

@Claudia Grytz

@Lynn Gray Bendixsen

@Sarah Olfert

@Dave McKay

Drafting framework for evaluating public identity utilities (BP0014) (v2)
 Drafting v1 of three BP documents (based on feedback from interviews with decentralized PIU conveners/providers)*

BP0015 - Assessing Sustainability of a PIU (v1)
BP0016 - Determining Affordability of a PIU (v1)
BP0017 - Assessing Alignment to a PIU
Backlog
Dashboard Health / Network Monitoring (Example)

*At future point, consider consolidating all best practices into one comprehensive document

SUGGESTION: Interlocking with Saturn-V TF as a first user of these Best Practices.

Decentralization Task Force

Submit a BP deliverable and a design principle for what it means to be Decentralized.

Jessica Townsend  (lead) 

@mathieu

What are the key attributes of a Decentralized Utility?
Should we consider / review the W3C DID Decentralization Rubric
Consider their dimensions for evaluation
Spectrum of Decentralization

 

Glossary Task Force

Generate a UFWG Glossary in collaboration with the CTWG.

@RJ Reiser (lead) 

Still pending CTWG process. Submissions under review.

Decision Points

Discussion Items

W3C DiD Rubric working group follow up - need to make connection - Joel Andrew/Daniel Harden (invite to next call for update)
Keep existing document (look to publish); follow up deliverable - expand criteria and compare to Markus and team - comparison framework to map against different utilities and W3C DiD Working Group method (more visual document) make reference to prior work as part of deliverable (alignment with other community efforts)
Review original analysis and DiD Rubric; cross reference
Terms in deliverable - bold and input definition; likely close out the Glossary Task Force unless further update provided - any unique terms in UFWG should be added into ToIP General Corpus
Layer 1 Framework with Tech Arch Taskforce; Alex to join call
Create a blog to attract new members - new leadership, 2022 initiatives, who to contact and get involved to be posted to website
what other utilities are out to join in members - register with ToIP; target specific people with specific request for input 
make list of utilities up and coming - contacts - strategy for discussing to become members
Utility overviews - schedule for introducing other utilities/guest speakers; update and newly featured - work through updates of DiD Utility Comparison document
DiD Utility Comparison - add a descriptor and purpose of the network to help in evaluation of networks
Priority Deliverables  - Public Identity Utilities for Digital Trust Ecosystems, Comparison document, DiD Utility Comparison
Relay to broader ToIP the other deliverables we have targeted to garner interest in carrying forward; how do deliverables use artifacts, order to be read - someone comes in new as a beginner and needs to get educated
