27 min | General discussion on the current focus areas | All | The consideration of Trust Registries (TRs), their use and governance appears to be of primary concern from the NA/EU call. JP reflected on the NA/EU meeting and how a rearticulation of the work to be done by the Governance Architecture Task Force (GATF) would be helpful. This might help contextualise the role of the group and save frustration building. JS pointed out that the topic of TRs is across a number of different ToIP groups and probably needs coordination. The topics seen in these discussions were:
JS suggested that if there is interest in TRs that members of the GATF should attend the Issuer Requirements or Trust Registry Protocol TFs. JP proposed 2 models for credential presentations - simple and complex. The simple model is one where the verifier decides that they are satisfied with the proof(s) provided by the holder without any further investigation. An "atomic" or at least a sequence of bilateral transactions that is resolved between the two parties alone. This works for low risk, low value transactions. The complex model is where the verifier needs to check more things, "background checks" if you like on the organisations who issued the claims presented by the holder for example - this is where the governance trust graph navigation comes in (and TRs come into play). The conversation also included considering how a verifier might know what they needed to ask, what would "suffice" as proof for their regulatory/licence conditions. The suggestion was that this was a problem already being solved in "the real world", to be licenced organisations they need to understand and demonstrate their adherence to regulations. The ToIP system might make these requirements "discoverable", but they have already been found and "encoded" by the time a holder presents their proof(s). JP suggested a continued extension of the step-wise mental model definition to continue to articulate these kinds of topics. This was agreed. File is available for comment here: |

Decisions
- Further development of the simple mental model on governance is worth the effort.
