15 minETSI Liaison DiscussionViky Manaila 

Viky will explain ETSI's role in setting standards for the European Digital Identity Wallets initiative, and the proposed liaison between ETSI and ToIP to facilitate ToIP providing relevant specifications to ETSI. 

See screenshots #1 - 11 below.

Judith Fleenor asked what we need to specify what standards or services ToIP can contribute.

Viky clarified that we just need to chose from the list in slide #11.

Drummond Reed asked where the Trust Spanning Protocol would fit. Viky thought it would primarily be #5.

Judith Fleenor suggested that Viky do a first draft of the proposed language.

We noted the conflict on the term "TSP" as eIDAS 2.0 uses that term for Trust Service Provider.

ACTION: Drummond Reed and Judith Fleenor to coordinate with Viky Manaila on choosing the items from Viky's presentation where ToIP may contribute input/specifications/standards and crafting the language to add to the existing JDF/ETSI Liaison statement.

did:webs Task Force  Lance Byrd Philip Feairheller Markus Sabadello 

  • We have completed the initial 30 days of our public review. We will continue to extend the period until we've completed all of the updates. Currently the only major changes is a refactor of the spec to separate it into normative/informative statements and references.
  • The TF is also looking at how to make the did:webs method as simple as possible, i.e., by not having to implement the full KERI suite.

X.509 VID Task Force (X5VTF)Eric Scouten Wenjing Chu 

  • Contact has been made with the Microsoft developer of the did:x509 method specification. He is very willing to have us take that work forward (however he's not available to help work on it).
  • The next decision is about whether that is a good starting point.
  • The next step is to move it into Spec-Up.
