SPECIAL MEETINGThis entire meeting was our Terminology Design Workshop hosted by TNOTNO

Since the meeting was an interactive workshop, we did not keep detailed notes, however see screenshots #1-#6 below for the overall topics discussed and listen to the Zoom recording.

The term we worked on during the workshop was "trust spanning". See screenshot #7 for Darrell O'Donnell's resulting diagram.

One particular quote from the Zoom chat:

  • Rieks Joosten : "criterion: a text that everyone can evaluate to determine whether or not something is an instance/example of a particular concept. Evaluation leads to a yes/no result."

Recap of conclusions coming out of TSP Workshop #1 and TSP Workshop #2

Main takeaways:

TSP Workshop #1:

  • To support trust establishment across trust domains, the TSP MUST support appraisability — the ability of any party to appraise the trust basis of the other. (Note that neither of these terms have definitions yet in the ToIP Glossary Workspace.)

TSP Workshop #2:

  • DECISION: There MUST be one and only one protocol at Layer 2 to serves as the trust spanning protocol. Any higher level protocol belongs in Layer 3 or above.
  • There was a consensus that we should look carefully at defining a protocol at the next layer above that provides many of the messaging semantics that Daniel Hardman and others are needed across trust tasks.
  • There was not a consensus yet as to whether that protocol should be defined in this TF or a separate TF should be chartered.

Prep for TSP Workshop #3 – A Layering Proposal


This is the last workshop we will be able to hold this month due to conferences. It will be held on THURSDAY 04 MAY 1:00-3:00PM PDT / 20:00-22:00 UTC / 22:00-24:00 CEST / 06:00-08:00 AEST. This is the Zoom link.

Sam Curren has agreed to kick it off with a proposal for how the current DIDComm V2 specification could be decomposed and evolved into a set of layers that would be compatible with the TSP.


TSPTF Progress Blog PostDrummond Reed Per our earlier discussions on the need for external communications — and in preparation for the panel on the TSP at the European Identity Conference nexxt week, Drummond is proposing to draft a "milestone" blog post about the progress of the TSPTF, recapping our proposals and direction. He will publish a draft as a Google doc later this week and will gladly accept feedback.
