Topic #1

Sankarshan, Keerthi and John reviewed the earlier Americas meeting discussion and considered ways to progress the GATF governance architecture discussion.

One observation/suggestion was that we should make sure that all representations are grounded on and/or make use of the most recent definition of the 4 layers that the TSWG are using as the scaffold for their diagrams (there are subtle but important wording changes between the V2 layer descriptions and the V3)


Topic #2

The group also discussed the importance of use-cases and the risk of over-reliance on any single / specific instances of use cases in testing/defining the architecture. In other words, we shouldn't assume that just because the governance of one trust ecosystem demands a certain specific consideration, all trust ecosystems demand the same consideration.

In addition, the group suggested the ToIP's role was to allow the authentic (trustworthy) representation of existing governance structures, rather than to define new ones over old. This was with reference to existing systems that have existing governance models where the new element is the issuance and verification of credentials, but "nothing else" is changing. Here the VC is an "and" to the existing governance and issuance process, it doesn't change the right/duties/responsibilities of parties other than to consider how the govern the VC representation of an existing, likely physical, credential.
