Please review these two Google docs ASAP!

  2. Missing Sections in TAS
10 minsAppendix B - Issue 31

See this Google doc where we are drafting Appendix B.

NA/EU:

  • Work on this is still underway and will continue between the NA/EU and APAC calls.

Drummond and Wenjing had a working session mid-day Thursday as they were at LF Member Summit together. Drummond then spent two hours preparing an updated version of Appendix B prior to the APAC call.

APAC:

  • We spent 45 mins discussing the updated draft.
  • It was agreed that the new version that moved verifiable data registries to the far right side of the diagram was best because: a) they are Supporting Systems, and b) they can serve all the layers.
  • We had long discussions about the other figures and how they could best be aligned to create a clear progression of points.

ACTION: Jo Spencer and Darrell O'Donnell will do their best to work out new versions of the diagrams in Appendix B that are aligned to create a clear progression.

ACTION: Drummond Reed will then produce another draft of Appendix B — due to travel, ideally by EOD Friday November 11 — for final comment on Saturday Nov 12.


Terminology and GlossaryNeil Thomson 

Neil made the point that we MUST tackle putting the glossary in place. Drummond agreed and proposed that we make it a requirement to include a full glossary (and hyperlinked terms) in PR2.

ACTION: Drummond Reed to create a PR proposing a note for the Glossary section to include in PR1 explaining that the full glossary is coming in PR2.
