Task Force Reports - KEEP VERY SHORT DUE TO OUR LARGE AGENDA

TF Leads

Technology Architecture TF — @Wenjing Chu  @Drummond Reed

2 PRs checked in (Drummond and Wenjing); draft is online

Trust Registry TF — @Andor @Antti Kettunen  @Darrell O'Donnell

  • This TF has moved back to bi-weekly meetings due to the growing interest in implementing TRQP.

Antti - growing interest; backlog is being hashed-out

Trust Spanning Protocol TF — @Drummond Reed @Wenjing Chu @Sam Smith 

  • Two revisions to the specification were proposed by @Sam Smith at last week's meeting. One will enable different VID types without requiring ToIP to maintain a VID type registry. This was agreed in the meeting. The second was a shift in how TSP messages are typed in CESR in order to make them more efficient to process. This one is currently being evaluated by @Wenjing Chu and his team.

Wenjing - (1) enable different VID types, (2) more efficient process to define message type

ACDC TF — @Sam Smith @Philip Feairheller 

  • This TF is to be moved to the new KERI Suite Working Group (see agenda item below).

TSWG IPR Change

Chairs

The chairs are working to prepare to transition the intellectual property rights (IPR) licensing terms for the TSWG back to the original IPR license choices (Copyright = Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, Patent = W3C Patent License, Source = Apache 2.0). We are working with the leadership of the new KERI Suite Working Group to find shared licensing terms for the Trust Spanning Protocol Specification.

Stay tuned for an email update and potential email voting period on this transition.

Reach out to Judith if there are any questions
