LF Digital Trust Initiative:

LF has agreed to create a special page/web presence on their main LF Website to elevate all the projects that LF has that are focused on different aspects of Digital Trust.

The main goal are:
-To tell the story of how LF is actively involved in the creation of the future of  Digital Trust and has had projects working on various aspects for years. 
-To help eliminate confusion in the market about what various projects are working on and how they fit together, and thus help drive participation in projects by the correct parties.  A map, so to speak, of the landscape.  

We have an opportunity to influence the narrative, but involved us thinking about it and writing.

-Initial meetings to discuss this have included Hyperledger, OWF, DIF, and ToIP… though other projects are proposed to be included such as, FINOS, CCC, C2PA, Dizme, OpenMetaverse Foundation…

-NOTE: this is LF project centric, and not a map of the entire Identity and DIgital Trust landscape. 

-LF is suggesting a web presence embedded in the main LF website. 

-Initial conversations have been around creating graphic of the projects and what each is working on, sort of a road map to help the market understand the landscape.

-We started trying to whiteboard, and realized it is like a 4 dimensional game of chess that we are trying to articulate.

-We then created a spreadsheet to at least start to self identify what projects are work on what. 

-Hart Montgomery from Hyperledger and Judith Fleenor from ToIP meet with their graphic/marketing expert on Friday to give her the high vision, and she felt we were going in the right direction.

Next Steps and Input needed:
-Complete the spreadsheet
-Draft content for the Web Page. 
Future Steps:
-Turnover, initial information to LF Marketing to do the creative elements.
-Review and Iterate
-Target - completing content by end of March 
Create a Launch Plan
-BLOG(s)
-Any Press - LF may want to do
-Announcement Centered around an event OSS North America and EIC
-Target full launch first week of May or end of April.

Wikipedia Page:

Schellman, steering committee member, has kindly offered to help create ToIP a Wikipedia page. 
Kaylan Eastepp, using information found, has created a draft for us to start from.  It needs to be updated to tell our story more effectively, but also must have resources backup to reference that will be accepted by Wikipedia.  
We need some volunteers with a strong knowledge of ToIP, to help edit it so that we can get a presence on Wikipedia.

NIST 800-63-4 Comment :

Unified Response.  Suggested, each organization creates their own spreadsheet, and then we create a Unified Cover Letter, for all the spreadsheets.  DIF is in alignment with this concept.
