    • We discussed the relationship of different documents that we want to advance. From a sequence standpoint, the highest priority is the ToIP Governance Metamodel & Companion Guide.

    • DECISION: Trust Criteria Matrix and Trust Criteria Matrix Companion Guide are approved as a Working Group Approved Deliverable.

    • Scott mentioned the good news about the Province of Ontario's publishing their digital identity strategy that explicitly includes ToIP
    • Steve Magennis asked if ISO 23220 Part 5 was on Scott's radar? The standard deals with mobile driver's licenses. Part 5 deals with trust confidence levels. Steve offered to make a connection there if it would help.
      • If we want to do something larger, we can make a formal connection, but we can start more informally.
      • Daniel Bachenheimer brought up ISO SC 17 WG 3, which is focused on security for travel documents. It has been discussed about pursuing an ISO WG on healthcare.
      • Scott brought up other ISO WG 17 SCs  - see screenshot #1
      • Even though these ISO standards take a long time, we want to be involved.
      • Dan said he is the SC 37 liaison officer to ISO TC 307 on blockchain, so he can help there too.

    • Strongly encourage input/feedback of GSWG members.
10 minsTerminology and Mental ModelsDrummond Reed
  • The Concepts and Terminology Working Group is rolling out a capability for ToIP WGs to create their own terms wikis.
  • We need to start this process to have defined terms and glossaries for our deliverables.
  • However, it is strongly recommended that we dig deeper to determine if we want to base these terms in sound mental models
  • Rieks Joosten has been leading a team building these mental models at eSSIF-Lab — see the Overview of eSSIF-Lab Mental Models
  • Do we want to begin this work, and if so, should we start a GSWG Terminology & Mental Models Task Force?
  • Carly asked how a mental model differed from an ontology?
    • Drummond posited that a mental model is in fact a very simply ontology designed for one specific scope.
  • We ran out of time to discuss further on this call.
  • ACTION: Drummond Reed to start an async discussion on the topic of GSWG terminology, glossaries, and mental models on the #governance-stack-wg Slack channel.
