1. [Drummond] read antitrust antitrust - you are welcome to attend the meeting without being a member of ToIP or GHPC but don’t make any substantial contributions until your paper work on both those are complete.

Over kickoff meeting covered the collaboration tools, each group will have variety of collaboration Tools in place (Google Drive, Slack channel, Zoom, mailing lists)

If you need to have an impromptu meeting contact Todd Gehrke he can help get a zoom meeting setup.

Key Milestones (60 days) - Tight time line

• Two weeks for rough draft to present at IIW 4/20-22
• Target Version 1 Draft expected week of April 26.
• Final Publication targeted for May 31

IIW is not a required event, it will be virtual, If you want to attend IIW and the fee is a problem let us know we can try to make accommodations. 

There will be 15 shots over the three days so hopefully there will be a complete track for GHPC

Objectives of the drafting groups.

[Drummond] covering audience for the deliverables

• Enable transitive trust
• Blueprint outline + Governance frame -> good health pass sterling group
• Output will be used and commented on be all internal and external groups
• Vaccine passports are getting a lot of press. Policy recommendations are going to receive a lot of scrutiny
• The other drafting groups a set of key questions set out by the GHPC Interoperability Blueprint draft outline <link>. 
• For this group we don’t have that, in many ways this group is contingent on the output of other drafting groups to coordinate the recommendations formed within those groups.  We’re the glue, or a set of policies that is the conclusions and recommendations the other groups come up with. 
• How do we create interoperable governance? This is a second deliverable as the candidate for the GHP ecosystem.

[Drummond]

• Other groups started by asking key questions, we will be doing the same.
• Will compliance be self assert or will it be asserted by a test suite. 
• One way or another there will be a way to say if an implementation is compliant with the GHPC ecosystem.
• The policy recommendations we come up with will be subject to a lot of scrutiny. 

[Drummond]

• Trust framework vs governance framework TF term comes from the blockchain world.
• Ecosystem of ecosystems we each bring our own lens of the scope and implementation that need to be adapted by the overall digital trust ecosystem. An overall digital trust ecosystem that can be specialized by jurisdictions. 
• Nested ecosystem governance frameworks.
• Policies can conflict but they can be extended.

[Scott]  

• One of the first things this group needs to get their arms is the scope of authority we are working within. This will help us get the right deliverable together.

[Drummond] 

• WHO is creating smart vaccination certificates. More of a government run or mandate.  He [Drummond] has been asked to comment on the decentralization of the effort. We’ll be addressing the larger overarching Governance Frameworks that Trust Frameworks will apply. Trust framework is a specialized domed dealing with trust registries. We will use the term governance frame as we are also dealing with policy and the ToIP governance meta model. There is also the ecosystem foundry working group.
• WHO is not a direct GHPC but they would like their trust ecosystem to be part of this bigger picture. The nesting would help address the need to get something out soon that might be adapted to a better solution.

[Julian]

• This would address the work that we are doing today. It supporters nested ecosystems.

[Tony]

• Supports our model as well. Some of the problems with conflicting rules still need to be solved.
• How are rules or policies going to be reconciled with different rules from another country.
• This is the reason for the rules engine drafting group.
• How does the rule engine governance concept fit into this picture. It will come down to a component of what the the governance framework,

Governance frames have two things 

1. Who is allowed to issue
2. is it the pass a valid - what will verification policies will be covered

[Third ] Also revocation 

• The other thing rules cover is the verification policies. Rues are typically on the verification side

• If a verifier knows a credential is issued under a given governance framework then they can accept the credential as being valid. 
• Questions about self-verification tests

Key point is that more than any other group we will need to take inputs and ask questions of other groups. The dialog is vital to our success, we are the special flower.

• Governance will declare in human readable form, document, and define how they are published. Document the overarching policies for the entire ecosystem.

An important reference is the ToIP Governance meta model 

• Created a modular approve to creating a governance framework
• This applies to all layers of the ToIP stack
• Outlines the policies and modules
• Can break down into modules, called schedule, or controlled document, for each layer.

We’ll start a template using the Governance Meta-model Drummond to drive with Scott’s help.

Likely need another meeting at 3pm PST to accommodate APAC.

[Todd] 

We want to follow the pattern being used by the other groups by creating a list of key questions this group is trying to solve.

• Please add items that you think are key questions that you think are critical for this group.
• We want to go over this in our next meeting so we can all discuss and agree on our key questions. 
• This will help us create an agenda that we can focus on.
