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
  • 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
    • 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
