ToIP Technology Architecture Specification Review Topics

Discussion of progress on the working draft of the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification (TAS). Links to relevant documents and diagrams:

2 minsEasyCLA checkDrummond Reed 

Have all TATF members read the EasyCLA process document and set up their org?

DECISION: We will request EasyCLA to be turned on for the TechArch repo on November 9.

ACTION: Drummond Reed  and/or Judith Fleenor to tell Elisa Trevino to turn on EasyCLA for the Technology Stack WG now, and then for everyone by Nov 9. DONE. <== Elisa has already sent out the emails.

3 minsDCO problemDrummond Reed 

See PR #54 for an example. How do we fix this?

We don't need to worry about this once we turn on EasyCLA.

ACTION: Drummond Reed to confirm with Elisa Trevino that DCO will not be needed once EasyCLA is turned on. <== Elisa is checking on this.

5 minsPR #54 - Authenticity & IntegrityDrummond Reed 

PR #54 has been submitted to address Issue #10. Please review.

#1 6.1 wrt authenticity = Proposed resolution - added integrity as #2 - glossary still needs work eventually, will add a link to every term. Proposal to put into last call. 

WC: on the 2nd FN that talks about the availability personally feel that its a somewhat separate issue

DR: that's why its a footnote and not on the list 

SP: feels strongly that it should be there. Parties should be available so that a minimum standard

WC: at the end of the day, not a strong opinion, just a minor one

DR: you can go ahead and propose another wording or separate issue if you'd like

WC: proposes to add the phrase “another important property of the system is availability” other than having it as a trust criteria

DC: make note to revise PR - then into final call

#2 merge conflicts have been resolved, WC approved

AK: ok to merge

DECISION: Label PR #54 as Last Call.

5 minsPR #11 - Interop with legacy techDrummond Reed 

This PR from Daniel Hardman has been approved by Andor Kesselman and Drummond Reed. Can we merge it?

DECISION: Merge PR #11.

10 minsIssue #31 - Figure 4 / New Proposed Appendix BDrummond Reed 

See this new Google doc for the basic outline of a new proposed Appendix B that would replace the current Figure 4.

Drummond reviewed the structure of spec, and given reviews are non-normative - Suggest adding a new section as Appendix B: Consolidated Views of ToIP Architecture

Proposed short intro and different views.

WC: If we have 3 different views, the pictures we produce won’t be consistent with the text we wrote. We should have 1 model with different views. So different views about the same model. Doesn’t think we are there yet, though. Some views will be in conflict with the text.

Sankarshan: we need to clarify these are different views

NT: let's build an actual model - lets go with what we have right now as different views, but they need to be resolved by 1 model.

AK: Different views should all fit together with no logical inconsistencies.

DR: Different views but same model.

WC: Wholesale problems - might have to rewrite text to make section consistent.

AK: need to align views and models

JF: likes having different views represented

ACTION: Drummond Reed and Wenjing Chu to work together (including next week at the LF Member Summit in Tahoe) to discuss how to align the 3 diagrams with the spec and publish them in Appendix B as a resolution to Issue #31.

5 minsIssue #22 - "interface" and "protocol"Wenjing Chu 

What do we need to do to close this issue?

ACTION: Wenjing Chu will propose a PR to close Issue #22 per the discussion comments.

5 minsIssue #18 - Figure 6Wenjing Chu 

What do we need to do to close this issue?

ACTION: Wenjing Chu will propose a PR to close Issue #18 per the discussion comment.

5 minsIssue #4 - Inclusion of Intermediary SystemsWenjing Chu 

It appears the issue was raised before the addition of section 9 on Intermediary Systems. Thus is this still an issue or can it be closed?

The consensus is that this issue is outdated and no changes are needed.

ACTION: Wenjing Chu will add a comment to Issue #4 and put it into last call.

5 minsMissing Content issuesDrummond Reed 

Three sections still need content:

  1. Section 11 (issue #55)
  2. Section 12 (issue #56)
  3. Appendix C (issue #57)
  4. Evolution of the ToIP Stack (companion document linked from Appendix C)

ACTION: Drummond Reed to finish content for "Missing Content" issues 55, 56, 57.

2 minsEditorial Issues

  • Section 13: References
  • Licensing info
  • Feedback info
