Notes
- Number of principles and their order won't be set until at least end of August
- Drummond Reed DP document is not the first document for newcomers to the ToIP stack and Foundation.
- Judith Fleenor , Wenjing Chu and others discussed how fundamental these principles are and how 'encyclopedic' or 'easy' their content might be.
- Drummond Reed shared that all the principles need ToIP context into each of them. Each principle should probably answer these questions:
- What does principle mean
- Why ToIP finds important
- What are current examples of these principles in the ToIP stack
- We reviewed the End-to-End Principle as an example of what the contents of a principle section should cover.
- Victor Syntez different principles are addressing different elements of the ToIP stack as a result public might be interested in only some of them. sankarshan insisted that DP document goal will be then to influence the reader to read the whole document.
- Judith Fleenor in the beginning of each section provide a little executive summary why ToIP chooses this principle as important. 2-3 lines.
The End-to-End Principle discussion
- Wenjing Chu shared that we can not define 'ends' in the DP document, because only after stating a specific problem we can define 'ends' in this specific problem.
- P Subrahmanyamsays it would help to give examples of what is NOT end-to-end.
Dualism of Trust: Human and Technical
- Vikas Malhotra , Wenjing Chu , Victor Syntez discussed various examples of the dualism of trust in current state of internet.
Decisions
- Each section in the document describing a design principle should ideally be between one and two pages in length (including illustrations).
- Each principle should start with a 2-3 line of executive summary about why ToIP chooses this principle as important.
- The writeup of each principle should follow this general structure:
- What is the principle? (Explain it in layman's terms.)
- What is the relevance of this principle to ToIP architecture and the ToIP stack?
- What is a specific example of how it will be applied? (Plus, if possible, one or more counterexamples, i.e., design decisions that would contravene the principle).
Action Items
- sankarshanand paulwill start working on the 'Introduction' and 'What are Design principles' sections. Continue working on these sections.
- Drummond Reed will work on the 'End-to-End Principles' section.
- Wenjing Chu volunteered to work on "Interoperability First" principle.
- Vikas Malhotra volunteered to work on "Transitivity of Trust" and "Dualsim of Trust" principles.
- Victor Syntez will continue to work on other sections.
