10 minsPresentationDarrell O'Donnell 

Darrell said he is consolidating some concepts together and presentings shortly.

  • Concept separation
    • Difference: Technology, Governance, and Ops
  • Tim: 

    • We've been looking at things a little too narrow.

    • Delegations
      • Responsibility vs. Accountability
      • Accountability vs. Authority
    • Flip the question around:
      • Do I trust this becomes is this properly delegated?
  • Scott: 
    • Is verify a role or an operation provided by the network? If the former, we now have to establish trust for the verifier. If the latter, it’s baked into the infrastructure and hard to attack.
    • This is why we we defined an administrator as a proxy for a governing authority.  The term Operator does not connotate accountability.
  •  Neil:
    • Other Key TR/EGF roles: Auditor
    • Other TRs.
    • How do EGF's talk to another? What do they need? Link in the DID Document. 
  • Savita:
    • Definition of governance vs. operations needs to be clarified. 
    • Dictionary definition: direction and control
  • Note: 3rd generation will be generated

### Proposal Section

STRAWMAN of TRTF Objectives:

  • Objective:
    • Timeline Objectives:
    • Adoption Objectives:
    • Technical Objectives: 
      • The primary objective of this Task Force is to develop the ToIP Trust Registry Protocol as a ToIP Specification. The purpose of this deliverable to enable interoperability between ToIP-compliant trust registries.
      • Drummond: “…trust registries as authoritative sources of the data necessary for the members of a digital trust ecosystem to make trust decisions about other members of that digital trust ecosystem or other digital trust ecosystems.”
  • Principles
  • Architecture and Implementation Implications
  • Comments/Thoughts:
    • Sankarshan: Do timelines and adoption need to be in the charter?
    • Dima: What's missing is a definition of what a trust registry is. What should be inside of the TR. 
    • Neil: Technical Objectives -> Project Objectives -> Technical and Governance Specifications
    • Drummond: Charter not explaining what problem TR is solving. 
    • Jo Spencer : Need more anchors 
      • Equivalence of data
      • Rules
    • Daniel Bachenheimer : Is this primary objective TF : to define TR vs. TRP. 
    • Drummond Reed : is CA a type of TR?
  • sankarshan : My hunch is that if the following can be clearly written down there will be better understanding : what is this TF doing; when will that be done; how will this be produced; why is the TF doing it.
  • Eric: What does a TR contain?
