Topic #1

ChatGPT summary of meeting generated from transcript and chat messages:


The meeting focused on refining the Trust Over IP (ToIP) framework's governance architecture diagram, discussing its version 3 iterations, and planning for its finalization and presentation. Key points and actions agreed upon included:

  1. John Phillips welcomed participants and introduced the agenda, highlighting the need to refine the governance architecture diagram and address feedback from the Slack channel, specifically comments by Ed on April 2.

  2. Discussion on Application Layer Icons: There was a consensus to refine the representation in the application layer. Drummond Reed suggested focusing on a few key applications like digital wallets, supply chain, and IoT to represent the range of applications enabled by ToIP. Jo Spencer added that digital, IoT, and physical solutions should be considered to showcase the diversity of applications.

  3. Governance Circle Arrows: The arrows indicating the governance cycle (Define/Run) were noted to be too small and could be made more prominent, a suggestion supported by Drummond Reed.

  4. Ecosystem Representation: Carly Huitema expressed a desire for a visual representation for ecosystems but acknowledged the checklist concept as a good start. Jo Spencer noted the importance of understanding ecosystems as being outside the direct scope of ToIP but facilitated by it. Suggestions were made to use different colors or graphics to better represent ecosystems distinctively, supported by Dan Bachenheimer and Judith Fleenor.

  5. Next Steps and Closing Actions: The group agreed on several actions to be completed primarily by John Phillips:

    • Finalize icon adjustments for clarity and representation.
    • Adjust the ecosystem representation for better distinction.
    • Add an additional slide to showcase how ecosystems interconnect, addressing a suggestion by Drummond Reed and Neil Thomson.

    Judith Fleenor and Drummond Reed discussed using the updated diagram for new member calls and presentations, notably at the upcoming IIW. There was a call for possibly revisiting the graphics post-IIW based on feedback, with Judith Fleenor suggesting that the current graphics were largely sufficient, barring minor tweaks.

  6. Acknowledgments: The effort and progress made by John Phillips in leading the development of the diagram were specifically acknowledged and praised by Drummond Reed, reflecting the group's appreciation for the collaborative process and its outcomes.

The meeting encapsulated a collaborative effort to refine a key piece of the ToIP framework's educational and explanatory materials, setting the stage for broader presentation and feedback gathering at upcoming industry events.
