Judith Fleenor shared a reminder of the ToIP All Members meeting at 10am PT.

• ACTION: Kevin Griffin will draft a proposed Task Force charter for a new TF for standardizing the SAID, CESR, and KERI specs and circulate it at least one week before the next TSWG Plenary meeting on June 21.
  • This is no longer needed as it was already covered by the existing ACDC TF charter.

Technology Architecture TF — Wenjing Chu  Drummond Reed

Report on the 3 remaining action items to reach the second public review draft:

1. Use Cases. Good progress: a list of 25 canonical use cases has been proposed—see agenda item below.
2. Glossary. Some progress on the ToIP Glossary Workspace. Major push planned for the first week of July.
3. Third generation conceptual ToIP stack diagram. Slight progress. Will be the final task to finish.

Trust Registry TF — Andor Antti Kettunen  Darrell O'Donnell

• Proposals have started.
• Andor presented on June 15.
• mathieu is presenting on June 29.
• Darrell O'Donnell is presenting on July 6.
• See Darrell's ToIP Stack Technical Trajectory agenda item below.

Trust Spanning Protocol TF — Drummond Reed Wenjing Chu Sam Smith 

• Sam Curren, co-chair of the DIF DIDComm WG, presented a proposed mapping of DIDComm V2 component to the ToIP stack (which may ideally evolve into "DIDComm V3").
• Sam Smith made a 2.25 hour presentation last week on his strawman abstract protocol. See the meeting minutes for the full recordings (listen to both NA/EU and APAC). Here are the slides.
• The next step is for Wenjing to present his recommendations in our June 28 meeting.
• We will have a hiatus for vacations the first half of July.
• We hope to arrive at a consolidate strawman by early August.
• Our goal is a complete Working Draft (and implementation!) by IIW #37 (Oct 10-12).

ACDC TF — Sam Smith Philip Feairheller 

• progress, community is growing
• demo of Qui Identity (https://qui.xyz/) (beta production use) - chaining (ACDC) at granular level 
  • claims as ACDX - and versioned (in tree/graph)
• Edge client signing - typescript and python

AI & Metaverse (AIM) Technology TF — Wenjing Chu 

• No one was able to give an update, but there was a mention that the AIMTF is going to have a special speaker in its meeting tomorrow. See the ToIP Calendar.

Credential Exchange Protocol TF - mathieu 

• kickoff last week
• aborted this morning (too many conflicts)
• working asynch (github)
• goal: list of protocols and criteria (first pass) next week
• may set a home at OWF when completed

Darrell shared a summary of how he sees the Trust Registry Protocol and the Trust Spanning Protocol progressing. See screenshot #1 below.

Sam Smith shared that security, privacy, authenticity, and confidentiality are not independent properties, but are dependent upon each other, and that the tradeoffs are critical. So previous approaches that separate them into different layers and do not pay attention to the dependencies.

For the first half of 2023, we have tried a four-week cycle of meetings for the Wednesday 8AM Pacific Time meeting slot: 3 Trust Spanning Protocol TF meetings followed by one TSWG Plenary meeting. It has proved to be very confusing. Thus we propose to simplify things by:

• Holding Trust Spanning Protocol TF meetings every Wednesday (both NA/EU and APAC) in their current time slots.
• Scheduling a monthly TSWG Plenary meeting in a different time slot.

DECISION: We will move the monthly TSWG Plenary meeting to a new time slot and dedicate the current time slot to the Trust Spanning Protocol Task Force meetings.

Judith Fleenor suggested that Tuesday was most likely the best day. Drummond Reed agreed.

ACTION: Drummond Reed and Darrell O'Donnell to look at the calendar and post a proposal for a new time slot for the monthly TSWG Plenary meeting.
