Meeting Notes (ChatGPT assisted):

Drummond Reed provided an overview of Global Acceptance Network (GAN), a generic term currently being used. GAN aims to be a form of digital public infrastructure to standardize and simplify the verification of digital credentials at scale. This idea is inspired by global payment networks (e.g., Visa, Mastercard), which have streamlined the process of accepting payments worldwide.
- The network would enable interoperability between digital trust ecosystems, making it easier to verify credentials across various platforms.
- GAN is not just about technology but largely about governance and business incentives, similar to how payment networks operate. Reed emphasized that digital trust is 10% technology and 90% governance.
- GAN originated from discussions between members of Trust over IP, particularly Gen, Accenture, and other partners, who saw the need for interoperable credentials, especially in workforce and consumer applications.
- The Trustworthy Query Protocol and the Trust Spanning Protocol are crucial for interoperable trust registries within the ecosystem.
- An initial inception meeting involving multiple ecosystems in March showed alignment, and they developed a business plan in four weeks. By June, 27 founding members (including 20 companies) committed funding.
- Phase 1, running from July to December, focuses on increasing membership, deciding on technical infrastructure, and developing the GAN Governance Framework V1 for decentralized digital public infrastructure.
- Efforts are underway to create a globally neutral nonprofit to govern GAN, similar to ICANN for domain names. Trust over IP is seen as the IETF equivalent for trust standards.
