Drummond Reed Eric Scouten 

A charter page has been drafted for this proposed new Task Force. This charter will be introduced by Eric Scouten , Senior Engineering Manager on Adobe's Content Authenticity Initiative, who is volunteering to chair this new TF.

Discussion:

• Eric explained that he's is driving the inclusion of X.509 identifiers for content authors in the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI).
• CAI is all about securely binding statements about the provenance of content to the content.
• CAI has found that X.509 identities are needed in addition to DIDs for CAI verifiable credentials. It is critical to meet folks "where they are".
• If we could have ToIP infrastructure map both legacy trust infrastructure (X.509) and new trust infrastructure (DID) together? That's the reason for this new Task Force.
• Darrell O'Donnell said that Jacques Latour and his team at CIRA are also very interested in using X.509 VIDs.

DECISION: The Technology Stack WG approved the formation of the X.509 VID Task Force with Eric Scouten as the initial chair, with the first meeting to commence on Thursday December 14.
