20 mins	Interim Review of the vLEI Ecosystem Governance Framework	Karla Mckenna	The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) is a proud member of ToIP and is active in many working groups and task forces. A while back, they leveraged the ToIP community to actively review their initial vLEI Ecosystem Governance Framework during its public comment period. Now, based on comments and feedback received from organizations going through the vLEI Issuer Qualification Program, as well as from pilots and POCs during 2023, substantial updates have been made to some Identifier and Credential Frameworks of the vLEI Ecosystem Governance Framework. GLEIF would like to launch an interim review of these vLEI EGF documents by the ToIP membership for comments and suggested edits from the interim review to be reviewed and considered for inclusion in the required annual review of the vLEI EGF that will occur in 4th quarter of this year. This short special topic meeting will launch the ToIP review and provides Karla to present the attached slide, make available the documents under review and solicit questions from our community.

Notes

During the discussion, Karla McKenna presented the vLEI ecosystem governance framework and requested an interim public review of five documents related to identifier and credential frameworks. The framework updates include improvements in identity assurance, authentication processes, and the inclusion of multiple authorized representatives for large companies. Karla McKenna also mentioned that they have been following the work on connecting wallets in Europe and have been in touch with the commission and EU wallet ID foundation. Bo Harald expressed interest in connecting individuals' wallets with the organization's wallet in Finland and mentioned the ongoing large-scale pilot for open wallets in Europe. Karla McKenna assured that they have been closely following the European work and are advising on the steps needed for recognition. Bo Harald also shared the FindyNet model for connecting organizations and individual wallets. Karla McKenna mentioned that they have been working on using vLEI within supply chains and have collaborated with the International Chamber of Commerce on a white paper. Mary Lacity expressed interest in connecting their community working on interoperability standards for supply chains with GLEIF. Karla McKenna offered to send the white paper and set up a meeting. Keerthi Thomas asked about using vLEI to sign the origin of AI models and verify their authenticity. Karla McKenna confirmed that the scope of using vLEI could extend to signing the origin of AI models and verifying their authenticity. She mentioned that they have not done anything concretely to make vLEI available for these use cases. Still, they are considering whether developing new vLEI credential types or chaining another credential to a vLEI would be sufficient. Drummond Reed expressed interest in learning from GLEIF's lessons learned in developing the vLEI ecosystem governance framework. Karla McKenna shared three lessons learned, including the importance of governance as a differentiator for vlei, the need for continuous updates and refinements based on practical experience, and the importance of thorough vetting and validation of legal entities and individuals receiving role credentials. Karla McKenna also discussed the challenges of developing and maintaining the ecosystem governance framework and the need for engagement and understanding among governed entities. The stakeholders involved in the vLEI issuer program have been engaged and asked thoughtful questions, driving the refinement of the governance framework. The meeting concluded with Scott Perry thanking everyone for attending and providing the recording link in the chat. Karla McKenna expressed her gratitude to Scott for arranging the presentation.
