Updates from TSWG members of general interest to the group:
Daniel Bachenheimer shared that the Biometrics Institute had their main event in London last week. Dan and his Accenture associate Kotryna presented on digital identity. Dan said there was a lot of interest in ISO mDL and ICAO DTC (Digital Travel Credential).
Drummond asked about the status of ICAO DTC's status. Dan explained that the only international standard cross-border credential is the ICAO ePassport. The DTC is based on that standard, so it is the only internationally approved travel credential. However it is very rigid in terms of issuance, extensibility and verifiability.
Dan also explained that the ICAO DTC does not specify an issuance protocol.
It also allows only proximity-based presentation.
Michael Palage agreed with everything that Dan said about ICAO DTC. He said that AMVA is rolling out their trust registry for mDL later this year. Michael himself has a Florida driver's license now. Michael said that they do envision an online presentation of how Florida is looking at doing this.
Dan is worried about the "phone home" component of the way ISO mDL verification works — to be able to request additional information from the issuer about the subject — is scary from a privacy standpoint.
Dan did say that the ISO mDL/mDOC spec allows for selective disclosure if claims are pre-issued.
Jacques Latour is leading the Trust Registry WG at DIACC. They are working on a definition of a trust registry, and it would be ideal if that aligned with ToIP.
Michael Palage said that both he and Jacque are going to be participating in an ICANN meeting on alternative identifiers. They will be sharing about ToIP and GLEIF LEIs and vLEIs.
@Drummond TODO about Bermuda.

Review of Action Items from the previous meeting
Chairs
ACTION:Judith Fleenorto put the submission of a European Identity Conference presentation or panel proposal on the agenda for the next Communications Committee meeting.
ACTION:Judith Fleenorto work withDarrell O'DonnellandElisa Trevinoand the rest of the TSWG to define and put in place a process for how a Working Group or Task Force can transition fromearly-stage developmentusing lightweight collaboration tools like Google docs to aformal and rigorous system-of-recordbased on GitHub and pull requests (PRs).
ACTION:Darrell O'Donnellto prepare a summary of the charter of the Trust Registry TF 2.0 for discussion at this coming Thurday's Technology Architecture TF meetings.
ACTION:Drummond Reedto prepare a summary slide on the CLA process forJudith Fleenorto put into the presentation deck for this coming Wednesday's All-Member Meeting.
ACTION:Drummond Reedto put IIW session planning on the agenda for the next meeting.
Drummond Reed is back from his next set of travels and will be focusing intensely this week on PRs that will address all the priority: high and priority: medium GitHub issues.
Drummond explained that Darrell was traveling this week and could not attend to give an update, but that Darrell wants to start work on this in earnest after Internet Identity Workshop.
Jacques Latour met with the Franhaufer team working on TRAIN, which is DNS-based, and wants to explore how that can be accommodated in V2.
ACTION: Drummond Reed to put the Trust Registry TF charter update on the agenda for the next TRTF meeting (post IIW), and let Jacques Latour know what that date is.
Sandy Aggarwal said that he was part of the last meeting, where they discussed doing a POC on personas and how they would register with one or more trust registries. Each of them could tie back to a specific real-world person, but some of the avatars may actually be AI bots of some kind. So the question is how they can be registered for purposes of authenticating and establishing trust.
Sandy gave an example of Second Life, where two people are interacting, and they form a Second Life family that starts having "offspring" that do not actually tie back to any actual person. The "children" are just a process that is getting spun up.
This closely ties back to some questions about the OpenWallet Foundation and responsibility for payments from a digital wallet. What do you do about an avatar-to-avatar payments? How do you handle receipts and accounting?
Daniel Bachenheimer said that, at the biometrics meeting he mentioned (see Announcements above), there was a presentation by Meta about this same question about accountability. Dan was not very satisifed with the answers provided there.
Sandy said that is why he is doing his research about how this aspect of payments needs to work. Do all actors in a payment system need to be registered with a trust registry of some kind, but at the same time enable anonymous "cash" transactions?
Jacques Latour noted: "a persona would not register with a trust registry, the issuer would be registered in the trust registry... A persona would be registered in an issuer registry..."
ToIP members and the TSWG may want to consider the code modules and associated/joint WGs that would provide ToIP interoperability.
Drummond explained that he believes OWF will have Associate Memberships for other industry non-profits like ToIP, DIF, OIDF, OIX, etc.
Daniel Bachenheimer asked the question of how OWF will define how to organize the effort such that all the parties at the table will have the same view of a digital wallet.
