Demonstrating their governance material based on ToIP
Drummond Reed : "I wanted to reinforce that, as we discuss the ToIP Governance Metamodel V2, we absolutely want to make sure it is as relevant to a supply chains & product passports as it is to consumer-focused digital credentials."
Andrew
"Has started working with Tony Rose on the OCME (ocmeco.org) GF. Stepping into the BIG shoes of Darrell. I can share more in a couple weeks when we get the next version out."
Discussions of the concept of "Trust Towns" deriving from the latest Governance Architecture TF meeting.
Living in a virtual town where everyone has credentials and expands with new citizens joining and Trust Spanning Protocol can help communicate, reducing barriers to acceptance
Perhaps a more meaningful and acceptable term than "Ecosystem."

Discussion on revisions for a potential 'ToIP Governance Metamodel Spec V2'
Drummond Reedwill lead a discussion on revisions for a potential 'ToIP Governance Metamodel Spec V2' based on feedback of some governance projects he is involved with.
#1 Aiming to finalize & publish ToIP V1 next week
Would love feedback from Bree about implementing framework
Bree is interested in participating in V2 efforts
Implementing governance in AIM Task Force
#2 Clarity in Tech Stack can now be addressed in V2
#3 Companion Guide needs to be grouped by interests
Community has more experience in Governance Frameworks can help add with V2
Need to pull others in to contribute
Need a work plan to develop V2, timeline
Will get more attention when it comes to public review
Drummond Reed is working on taking the EU digital wallet and mapping their framework to ToIP's for client
Scott Perry is pressure-testing V1 model and working on framework for client
All V1 assets are better than anything else he's seen in marketplace
Bree: "We think so - it is a tool to be utilized and adapted, the guides really make it"
Clear path to Trust Registries
Need to advocate that organizations get VC issued by governing authority like LEI, vLEI
Neil Thomson "A new term that has been brought forward in Verifiable Identifiers (for TSP) is dynamic (risk assessment) - Appraisability."
The discussion focused on the development of the V2 specification for the Trust over IP (ToIP) model. Here are the key points:
V1 Feedback and Success: The V1 model has been effective and useful in practice, especially in governance framework development. However, there are areas for improvement in V2.
Trust Challenges in Supply Chains: Digital credentials and governance models are crucial for establishing trust in supply chains, especially with the rise of AI and content authenticity.
Enhancements in V2:
Technology Stack: V2 should clarify and expand on the technology stack, especially now that initial implementations of the trust spanning protocol are available.
Governance Focus: The governance aspects of the model, particularly the role and accountability of the governing authority, should be more emphasized and detailed.
Role Definitions: There needs to be a clearer definition of roles within governance frameworks, with a focus on using verifiable credentials and trust registries to enhance trust.
Process Simplification: V2 should place less emphasis on processes and more on the roles and responsibilities within governance.
Development Timeline: The team acknowledges the heavy workload ahead and discusses setting a realistic timeline to produce the V2 tools, aiming for a structured development process without rushing.
Public Review: There is an intent to involve a broader audience in the review of V2, anticipating more scrutiny and feedback as interest in governance frameworks grows globally.
Overall, the conversation emphasized the need for refining and expanding the current model to better address the complexities of governance and trust in digital ecosystems.
