Objective

Terms of Reference

Current release of the GHP Blueprint (V2.0 June 23)

The addendum to be a stand-alone section to the extent possible (self-consistent and aligned with existing content of the GHP Blue where that has relevance to guardianship issues) 

Target completion: 16 August (6 weeks from 5 July)

The Addendum will make use of the existing Guardianship models introduced by eSSIF-Lab and the Sovrin Guardianship Working Group. These models make direct use of the W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model.

Meeting Schedule

Draft at present...

Meetings will be twice weekly with one at the beginning of the Eastern Australian working day and one at the end of the working day - this to maximise the opportunity for others to participate.

The purpose of the meetings will be to review content and agree actions. To keep the meetings efficient, rather than work during the meeting, participants should review existing content and have comments ready for the meeting (and/or placed in the document text) to be discussed. We will aim to keep the meetings to 30 minutes rather than an hour if possible. At present they are set to be 50 minutes long. 

The day and times shown below are Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10)

• Tuesday 0900 - 0950 (2300 Mon UTC)
• Thursday 1730 - 1820 (0730 Thu UTC)

Why this Addendum?

The June 2021 GHPB releases (v1.0, 7 June and v2.0, 23 June) have a few references to guardianship related issues in the documents (there are more in v2.0 than v1.0). However guardianship was not a key focus of these initial drafts of the blueprint. Review comments for V1.0 were provided that proposed guardianship be addressed since it is a common issue with the Traveler use case that is the core problem being addressed in these releases. On the morning of Wed 30 June 2021 (Melbourne time), Kaliya Young and John Phillips agreed that the simplest way to include these considerations was to add an addendum to the document to describe how guardianship could be addressed by the Good Health Pass Blueprint, focusing on its core use case.

On 2021-08-18 a google slide presentation was uploaded to the ToIP Google drive to provide an up to date representation and request for review: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18wNUONeAo_D7S9sgGqcoqpQd9J2ntMxFFQNn8BpL1fc/edit?usp=sharing

The Addendum final draft is now complete and awaiting formal publishing. A blog was prepared for the publication process and acceptance at the governance meeting on 2021-11-10.
