Task Force Reports

TF Leads

Trust Registry TF — @Darrell O'Donnell

  • Still relatively quiet, but will start to pick up with the introduction of some new TFs

  • @Drummond Reed noted that interest in VC revocation is growing rapidly and there is a growing intersection between trust registries and revocation registries operated by revocation service providers (RSPs).

ACDC TF — @Sam Smith @Philip Feairheller 

  • @Philip Feairheller reported that the GLEIF vLEI ecosystem executed a pilot last week to show a full chain of ACDC credentials. A report was published on the GLEIF website. It was a good test of the full ACDC architecture.

  • The current draft of the ACDC IETF Spec is  https://github.com/trustoverip/tswg-acdc-specification

  • @Judith Fleenor (Deactivated) asked about a blog post about the progress of the ACDC spec work

  • ACTION: @Philip Feairheller to talk to the ACDC TF members about a blog post announcing the progress of the ACDC work and the successful GLEIF POC.

  • @Daniel Bachenheimer brought up the question of how both ISO mDL/mDOC and ACDC credentials can be reconciled with the W3C Verifiable Credentials 1.0 spec requirements as part of the new W3C Verifiable Credentials 2.0 work.

  • @Drummond Reed mentioned that he had a good conversation with Arjan Geluk of UL in the Netherlands, editor of the mDL spec, about harmonizing efforts with the W3C Verifiable Credentials 2.0 work.

Technology Architecture TF@Wenjing Chu  @Drummond Reed

AI & Metaverse (AIM) Technology TF@Wenjing Chu @Vikas Malhotra 

  • @Vikas Malhotra reported that the first meeting had ~15 participants and spent most of the meeting doing introductions and discussing the scope of this new TF — which is inherently quite broad but also quite pressing based on the rapid progress of AI, machine learning, and metaverse.

  • Vikas reported that the second meeting has been scheduled for this Thursday at 12PM Eastern Time.

Proposed New Task Force

@Darrell O'Donnell 

web3 Concept Development Task Force

  • Darrell explained the charter he has drafted for the web3 Concept Development Task Force

  • The intent is to explore more concepts at depth AND drive membership / interest.

  • Darrell explained that this TF grew out of discussions of the needs of the Cardano and IOG community to work on decentralized identity interoperability.

  • It can be compared in some way to the ACDC TF that tackled work that was not being done elsewhere and which needed to be done in an IPR-safe venue. In this case the TF would be focused on the key digital identity and trust issues facing the web3 world. He gave several examples:

    • DID-based login

    • Verifiable NFTs

    • DIDs and DID fragment usage

    • DIDs and trust registries — and revocation registries

    • Compliance suites — this area needs to be much broader, i.e., to reach a full industry test suite that is perceived as industry neutral

  • Darrell feels that ToIP is a natural home for exploring this area.

  • @Judith Fleenor (Deactivated) asked about the question of where the test suite work should be given that the Technology Architecture Task Force is also working on a test suite spec.

    • Darrell said that this TF would discuss the needs of the web3 community and then recommend new TFs as needed.

  • Judith also said that she had raised the question of coordination on interop with the DIF Interop Working Group and discussed that with the @Kaliya Young as a co-chair of that group.

    • @Drummond Reed shared that the ToIP Foundation 

  • ACTION: @Drummond Reed to send out a call for review notice today for the proposed web3 Concept Development Task Force and then a call for consensus in 7 days after any feedback has been incorporated.
