Discussion Topics

GSWG Proposal: Q1 2021 Joint Deliverables Package
1. ToIP Technology Stack Design Principles (TSWG) (DP0006 Technology Stack)
  1. Focus on overall design principles – separate deliverable from the specific (DP0003 Laws of Identity) and (DP0004 Privacy by Design) TFs
  2. Focus is on TIP independent and stack layer independent. So this is a separate full-stack deliverable. For example: (DP0005 Decentralization by Design)
2. ToIP Governance Stack Design Principles (GSWG) (DP0007 Governance Stack)
3. ToIP Governance Architecture TSS (GSWG) <== underway (TSS0002 Governance Stack)
4. ToIP Technical Architecture TSS (TSWG): See RFC 289 Conversion TF (TSS0001 Technology Stack)
5. Design and Architecture of the ToIP Stack (white paper) (joint deliverable of GSWG and TSWG): Update Foundation Whitepaper (WP0010 ToIP Foundation Whitepaper)

Sam Smith - Task Force Proposal for next meeting
- Verifiable Authorizations: Mapping vCreds spec to authorization semantics. Positioning this concept with respect to other industry activity.
Migration to Kanban tooling.
- Trello Account Setup; Board creation WIP.
- Goal is to improve WG reporting (scrum activity) and allow Task Forces to organize and manage activity.
- Upon completion of KanBan boards: Convert TSWG Bi-monthy Meeting into a Monthly Scrum of Scrums (SOS); Allowing TFs to meet more frequently and to be more focused on actual deliverables than status updates.
