• UID-NUM Introduction

Notes

• UID NUM founder Tim Carswell gave an introduction

  • Just joined ToIP Foundation

  • Grigory Miloradov and Vincent Bergin also joined the call

  • +87810 is a unique global mobile phone number range allocated to UID NUM

  • It is not affiliated with any specific country, unlike other number ranges (e.g., +1 in the US)

  • Their particular focus is digital identity

  • The mobile phone number can be a digital identity at 3 levels

    • Doing business with PKI by generating encryption keys

    • Bank pseudonym identity which includes personal data as required

    • Highest level of verification requires revealing the phone number itself plus personal data

  • Have some commercial traction which could lead to broad uptake

    • Identity transactions

    • Financial transactions

    • Telecom industry

  • @Scott Perry asked how the UID NUM team might benefit from the ToIP Foundation and the ToIP stack

    • Tim explained that @David Luchuk suggested that UID NUM might benefit from engaging with the GSWG

    • Scott suggested that the UID NUM team might want to call a special topic meeting at some point if they feel it makes sense

• @Drummond Reed gave an update on the GSWG Governance Architecture TF

  • New ToIP Governance Architecture TSS page

  • Plan for drafting on that page and the ToIP Governance Metamodel page until our GitHub repo is ready

  • Plan for migrating to Markdown when GitHub repo is ready

• @Scott Perry gave an update on the GSWG Process and Roles TF

  • The Governance Layer Roles page was discussed extensively at the last meeting

    • Scott has been making updates based on that feedback

    • This will be a Definitions document, i.e., these definitions will be fed into the Concepts and Terminology WG

    • Scott is seeking feedback and other contributors—if you contribute, please add your name to the Contributor section

    • Looking to complete this document within the next month

  • Also discussed the Classes of Verifiable Credentials wiki page

    • Very lively discussion in the last meeting

    • Unsure of future status - currently on hold

  • Also discussed Identity and Verifiable Credential Risks

    • Relevant to the Risk Assessment, Trust Assurance, and Certification category of Controlled Documents in the ToIP governance metamodel

    • Goal is to see how it will contribute to the ToIP Layer 3 Governance template

  • Paul had a suggestion about "schemas" on the Governance Process and Roles

• @Drummond Reed explained a proposal for a package of 5 overall deliverables between our WG and the Technical Stack WG

  • The five deliverables

    1. ToIP Governance Stack Design Principles (GSWG)

    2. ToIP Technology Stack Design Principles (TSWG)

    3. ToIP Governance Architecture TSS (GSWG)  <== already underway

    4. ToIP Technical Architecture TSS (TSWG)

    5. Design and Architecture of the ToIP Stack (white paper) (joint deliverable of GSWG and TSWG)

  • He explained why the five belong together as a "package" to serve as an in-depth explanation of the purpose, structure, and goals of the ToIP stack (and thus of the mission of the ToIP Foundation)

  • The reception was positive, so the decision was to move these into Pre-Draft Deliverable stage (added to Decisions, below)

• @Scott Perry and @Darrell O'Donnell gave a report on a request to the ToIP Foundation for consultation from a governmental entity that is currently underway (with a deadline early next week). Please contact @Darrell O'Donnell via Slack if you wish to assist with this tiger team project.

• Our next meeting will be in one month, Thursday December 10th
