Review of previous decisions and action items

Chairs

• DECISION: We will deliver a first Public Review Draft by Thursday 8 Sept 2022 in order to present it at the Hyperledger Global Forum in Dublin beginning Sept 12. We will also try to complete the majority of the work of having a complete draft by the end of July so we can work (possibly largely asynchronously) on issues in August.

• DECISION: Starting next week, we will spend the majority of each weekly meeting on issue resolution AND we will be driving issues to be closed asynchronously both in the Google Doc and in Github. We will work minor issues in Google doc (and slowly wind those down) and major issues will be in GitHub.

Revised sections 2, 3, and 4 in the ToIP Technology Architecture Spec

@Drummond Reed 

Per the action item above, we review the changes to sections 2, 3, and the new section 4 in Working Draft #2 of the ToIP Technical Architecture Spec. Note that section numbers have now been updated throughout the spec to reflect that one new section was added.

• Specific comments on the revisions in sections 2, 3, and 4 were recorded as comments in the Google doc.

• @Vladimir Simjanoski felt these sections were definitely an improvement over the previous text.

• We agreed to add references to the two other deliverables to which this TF has committed.

  • @Tim Bouma has started ToIP Primer for Policymakers. (Drummond updated our TF wiki page to reflect that new title.)

  • @Neil Thomson suggested that we need a "guide to readers" that lists all the related set documentation vs. trying to shoe-horn that information in each document.

• DECISION: We will mark each main section of the spec as informative or normative (as is done with specs from W3C and others).

• There was a general consensus that the revised Motivations section incorporated previous comments.

  • There was some discussion about the name of this section. @Drummond Reed explained that "Motivations" was frequently used with IETF RFCs.

  • ACTION: @Wenjing Chu will add an additional bullet point to the Motivations section regarding "minimal design", "simplicity", or "spanning layers".

• We discussed the new separate Use Cases section (section 5). Comments have been added to the Google doc. In addition:

  • @Daniel Bachenheimer suggested that it would be good to have more nuanced examples... not just a driving license but what other authorizations? commercial? organ donor? similar for financial - KYC may be multiple factors; some of which can be re-used - some not

  • @Vladimir Zubenko suggested including a use case about educational credentials - score reports, job skills etc.

  • ACTION: @Vladimir Zubenko to add a use case about educational credentials to the table in section 5.

  • ACTION: @Darrell O'Donnell to revisit the use case table and propose a different set of use cases (@Neil Thomson suggests a maximum of 12 that are as different as possible).

  • @Neil Thomson suggested: "Time to spin up one or more docs on Use Cases of two types - Business (for policy makers/public) and (deep) Technical, then pull back "representative" sample Use Cases back to this spec."

• We also discussed adding links for defined terms to their definitions in a ToIP glossary, which Drummond has already started to do.

  • ACTION: @Neil Thomson asked contributors & reviewers to flag words/terms/concepts that need a definition in the terms wiki with a comment "needs term defn".

APAC:

• We discussed the structure of the remaining sections and came to consensus that it would be easier to write and read if .

• DECISION: We will not separate out requirements into separate sections organized by layer, rather we will restructure sections 6 and higher to incorporate requirements "inline".

• ACTION: @Drummond Reed to implement the editorial revisions and restructuring reflected in the decisions above.

• ACTION: @Wenjing Chu, @Drummond Reed and @Darrell O'Donnell to either close or move to GitHub as many issues as possible before next week's meeting.

Issue resolution

@Wenjing Chu 

Wenjing asked everyone who does not yet have a GitHub account to open one so that we can start moving discussion of issues to our GitHub repo for the spec. Our weekly meetings going forward will focus heavily on closing open issues in GitHub.
