Notes

Drummond Reed presented background on Design Principles for the ToIP Stack.
- The main idea is to disassociate ToIP stack with Hyperledger Aries and bring definition of the stack under the ToIP Foundation.
- As shown in the diagram on this page, the full definition of the ToIP stack will be split into three documents: Design Principles, ToIP Technical Architecture TSS and ToIP Governance Architecture TSS.
- The Design Principles documents was started in December 2020, but was put on hold due to other important projects.
Following the question from P Subrahmanyam on what WG is responsible for the Design Principles document Drummond Reed clarified that:
- It is a joint deliverable of both the Technical Stack WG and the Governance Stack WG because the design principles encompass the entire stack as a whole.
- However in order for there to be a clear "home" for this Design Principles document, the Design Principles Task Force was chartered under the TSWG.
We reviewed the End-to-End Principle as an example of what the contents of a principle section should cover.
- Drummond Reed volunteered to draft text for that section by next week's meeting.
We discussed length and agreed that each principle section should ideally be between one and two pages in length (including illustrations).
Victor Syntez suggested that we should think about using visual graphics, diagrams and images to illustrate principles to make them appealing to the broader community of readers. UN Sustainable goals were brought as an example of such images.
We agreed that our goal for the next meeting was to draft the first few sections and be ready to discuss them.

Decisions

Each section in the document describing a design principle should ideally be between one and two pages in length (including illustrations).
