Topic #1

Carly provided an update on the "Trust Registry Catalogue Data" document review: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kFeti37GjfoclRtJsiRwPG10-6zoZ7kQ9AiPkytX7r4/edit#heading=h.1059kkeqxc2r


Topic #2

John led a discussion on Governance Architecture - how might we draw one?

Neil offered examples of different perspectives

The group explored the 4 layer 2 stack model of ToIP and observed that, absent any other elements, governance in this context means governance of the technology.

Scott shared insights from the Identity Week, including the ecosystem being set up by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators https://www.aamva.org/


Topic #3
Exploration of whether the term "Governance Stack Working Group" is appropriate and what the scope of the task force should be.

Drummond referred to a an early blog post (https://trustoverip.org/news/2022/02/01/the-toip-foundation-releases-its-first-official-governance-specifications/) that defined the scope as it was understood at that time.

Topic #4

Suggestion that the group needs to work towards depictions of governance that we can use to achieve a common understanding, explain and inform others.
