The current Governance Template TF is proposing to relaunch in September as the Governance Architecture Task Force with a new focus on producing templates for specific ToIP-compliant GF components, vs. layer-specific GF templates. This TF would coordinate with the Technology Architecture Task Force to map GF templates to technology architecture components and functions.

• Savita Farooqui said that this is the same approach that the IEEE Blockchain Governance WG is taking. Each layer has its distinct components, and here is the governance framework you can apply to each component.
• Nicky Hickman : +100 governance is functional in the context of business, social and economic interactions AND is contextual where context is the ACTOR (#essif) components in the system.
• ACTION: Drummond Reed to connect Savita Farooqui  with the existing  Governance Template Task Force members to schedule one or more meetings to prep for the launch of the Governance Architecture Task Force in September.
• Savita made the point that governance is not just about the policies. She shared the model of "4P+I": People, Process, Policies, Practice + Incentives. Practice is the application of policies, i.e., putting the policies into practice.
• Nicky Hickman suggests that there is also E (economics) and S (social). Savita said she was thinking those were was part of incentives.

See this draft mental model on governance from Rieks Joosten. He cannot join us today, but we should begin to study it and plan for a meeting with him on it after our break.

It has been proposed that we take a summer break, recognizing "vacation season", and reconvene at our first meeting in September.

DECISION: The GSWG will take a summer break until September—our next plenary meeting will be Thursday Sept 8th.

ACTION: Drummond Reed to notify Elisa to remove the ToIP Calendar entries for our summer break.
