Notes  

Judith Fleenor kicked off the meeting with the Anti Trust policy to review and the agenda. Judith Fleenor provided an update regarding BLOG Updates and Approvals. Alex Walz mentioned the Avast blog is currently being worked on . OIX blog - the guide trust framework is up on their page currently and is being reviewed by Daniel that Judith Fleenorsent out to the Communication Committee pre-meeting. Judith Fleenorrecommended Drummond Reed, Daniel Bachenheimerand Nick meet to discuss Open Identity content and blog post, prior to travel schedules.  The team agrees that once the guide is reconciled, they should be able to release the blog post. Daniel Bachenheimermentioned concerns regarding that the last several pages, since some of the content is beyond what's needed. He recommends adjustments better articulate the guide to illustrate alignment. Judith Fleenormentioned Nick shared feedback with her regarding the feedback and comments Daniel Bachenheimerprovided.  Mike and Karl (IdRamp) are currently working on a blog post about Decentralized Identity: Keys to mainstream adoption. Judith Fleenorasked for participation from the Communication Committee to help in the process of reviewing the work on this blog effort to help address confusion regarding terms of DID. Drummond Reedmentioned that it's becoming more common practice for folks to utilize this as an acronym in the market that is confusing. Judith Fleenorsuggested maybe we (ToIP) can come up with a better term to reference Decentralized Identity to differentiate with Self Sovereign Identity. Daniel Bachenheimersuggested that we call it DDI Decentralized Digital Identity. Alex Walz shared that we need to select one term and then ensure consistency across all our communications in the future. Judith Fleenorsuggested spelling out the terms consistently as to help newcomers as they join and to illustrate the specific terminology we're working to articulate. EI Dest is ready for public comment on their blog post and is asking for additional feedback on the content of the blog (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W7Pr9zDL00WdKnZy0BA8QsOjVo32CyAttmsbJ1di_H8/edit# ). Drummond Reed is interested to learn more about the content/proposal regarding guidance to Governments regarding decentralized identity. 

SB1190 

Judith Fleenor presented an update on the SB1190 bill that was presented to the Senate Education Committee and shared her testimonial with Tony Rose and shared that the bill is being moved forward to the State Education Committee. Letters in support are due April 15th by noon. Judith Fleenor asked who should be engaged in writing this letter from ToIP. Scott Perry inquired if this is something that is already set to be approved or does our input have tangible value? Judith Fleenor clarified the influence and work in the background that has been happening over the past months to better explain the purpose of this Bill and the need for the support. 

Event Schedule

Judith Fleenorshared the updates regarding EIC, IIW, RSA, Identiverse and OSS Mini Summit. We need to identity an agenda and content for the European OSS Mini Summit. We need to specify the name of our event, a description of the event and the number of attendees we're anticipating. Which time slot do we want to participate in for the Europe OSS? Scott Perrymentioned that this event is in conjunction with the Hyperledger Global Forum and if you're interested in speaking, submissions are due by EOM. Scott Perryhas proposed to speak on Blockchain Networks for this event in Dublin (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/hyperledger-global-forum/). Alex Walz asked about how much of the audience overlaps between the two conferences. Judith Fleenorexplained that the OSS registration will include us as a mini summit as an add on to the OSS conference and recommends we request the 2:00pm-5:30pm slot to accommodate travel itineraries for attendees. The Communications Committee TrustOverIP Orientation for Decentralized Identity Community. Marie Wallace will be attending the event and will help with scheduling. Alex Walz will work with Judith to create a description for the event. 

IIW 

Judith Fleenor inquired if we want to do a pre or post event for IIW? Daniel Bachenheimerasked if there's a virtual element to this event and Judith Fleenormentioned it is not. The event will be at the History Museum as it's been in the past. Judith Fleenorasked if we want to engage in any events for ECI in Germany and Alex inquired if we know who's attending that event. Judith Fleenormentioned that she believes it's mostly the panelist attending, but believes our European supporter will be in attendance and it may be an opportunity to connect with our community members. Alex Walz mentioned the agenda is very busy, but believes it adds value if we have a happy hour event, but folks may be exhausted by the end of it so it may not be worth the additional work to coordinate and schedule

External Inquiries

Benny Jung sent a note to Judith Fleenor inquiring about utilizing our ToIP logo and she shared that we don't have a formal policy in place as ToIP Foundation. Alex Walz has some concerns as it's free publicity but it also can appear as an endorsement. We need to ensure approval is on a case by case basis. Daniel Bachenheimermentioned that we should be able to review the agenda in advance of approving the utilization of our logo to ensure alignment to our mission. Judith Fleenorshared another inquiry from Sophia Young regarding a request for publishing content for ToIP, she's sent her a response and is awaiting to hear back from her regarding her experience and location. Alex and Chris Ingrao (Deactivated)provided feedback that this may not be the most beneficial for us, since the content of the work we do is complex and folks with little experience, may be a challenge. They both suggested we consider providing an opportunity to try and then evaluate her work that may evolve overtime as they learn the technology. Judith Fleenor asked what project should we consider giving someone like this and Chris Ingrao (Deactivated) mentioned something more topical, then technical content related material.
