Notes

New member introductions
X.509 PKD interop wiki page and baseline proposal - @Drummond Reed
1. This proposal is the beginning of discussion about how the Trust Registry Protocol can include conventional X.509 public key directories (PKDs)
OpenAPI in github and Trust Registry Relay decision - @Darrell O'Donnell(virtually)
Discuss the GCCN Trust Registry Network Definition document - @John Walker and @Lucy Yang
1. @John Walker shared the strawman document Defining the GCCN Trust Registry Network
Other technology approaches and open discussion
1. @Ken Adler (Deactivated) - trustregistrynetworks.org
  1. This came out of an effort to expose cryptographic primitives in a standard way.
  2. The GCCN use case was a "deceptively simple" example of the need.
  3. So Ken and his team started an open source project.
  4. Requirements included: operating at the edge, low resource consumption, policy-as-code, describing governing authorities and digital trust ecosystems in a delarative manner.
  5. Currently several Thoughtworks devs are working on the project
  6. The hope is that the project can fit within various architectures that need these capabilities.
  7. Location:
2. TRAIN - @Mike Richardson
  1. ACTION: @Mike Richardson to see if he can arrange for TRAIN rep to come to the July 15 meeting
  2. https://gitlab.grnet.gr/essif-lab/infrastructure/fraunhofer
Discussion of machine-readable rules
1. @Jim StClair is assuming that there is a need for rules for ultimately making trust decisions
2. @Ken Adler (Deactivated) provided feedback that the baseline was just verifying DIDs and URIs
3. @John Walker shared that the rules about something like Good Health Pass travel requirements will be in a governance framework ("inside the trust diamond"), but that they don't necessarily have to be in machine-readable rules, but the different TRs can have different levels of support for machine-readable rules
  1. So the business rules reside at two levels - what are the rules of interacting with the TR, and what are the rules with the ecosystem for a particular TR
  2. We need to explore the machine-readable mechanisms
Review of action items & prep for next meeting
1. @Darrell O'Donnell Focus on a definition of the MVP
2. @John Walker the set of user stories that will give us the requirements for the "absolutely bare bones"
3. @Lucy Yang will share a diagram of the user flow from a GCCN standpoint
