The meeting on February 5, 2024, involved participants from the Attraction Pass Task Force (APTF), including Tony Sandler, Neil Thomson, Judith Fleenor, and Kabir Maiga. Here's a summary of key points, decisions, and action items from the discussion:

Objective:

The primary objective discussed was to take the initial ideas around the Attraction Pass and develop them into a presentation format. This aims to simplify the concept for broader understanding and potentially attract input from others in the travel and hospitality industry.

Key Points:

  • Attraction Pass Concept: The focus was on using verifiable credentials, self-sovereign identity, and related technologies to manage attraction passes. This includes the purchase and redemption processes in a secure, verifiable manner.
  • Ecosystem Expansion: It was noted that while the initial focus is on the tourism and activities industry, specifically attractions, the ecosystem could potentially expand to other areas of travel and hospitality.
  • Technical Aspects: Discussions included the issuance and verification of passes, the importance of trust registries, and how to handle the transfer or resale of passes.

Decisions:

  • Presentation Development: The team decided to start organizing their findings and discussions into a presentation format. This would help in explaining the concept to others outside the task force and solicit their feedback.
  • Ecosystem Framework: There was a consensus on the need to define the starting point for an ecosystem that supports the attraction pass concept, acknowledging that it could be expanded later.

Action Items:

  • Document Preparation: Neil Thomson mentioned he had drafted a document outlining next steps, focusing on issuance, verification, and the handling of passes. This document is to be shared for further discussion.
  • Use Cases and Actors: Kabir Maiga suggested the importance of clearly defining use cases and identifying all actors within the ecosystem. This would include detailing how attraction passes work, are issued, and verified.
  • Technical Documentation: The need to develop technical specifications and diagrams that clearly articulate the operational model of the attraction pass system was discussed.
  • Governance and Compliance: Ensuring alignment with broader standards and governance models, especially regarding verifiable credentials and self-sovereign identity, was identified as a critical step.

Next Steps:

  • Outline Refinement: The group agreed to refine the document outline, incorporating sections on the attraction pass ecosystem, key actors, and operational use cases.
  • Collaborative Editing: Participants plan to collaboratively edit and expand the document to include detailed descriptions and diagrams.
  • Soliciting Feedback: Once the presentation material is prepared, the task force intends to present it to a broader audience for input and validation.

The meeting was productive, setting the stage for detailed documentation and eventual presentation of the Attraction Pass concept to a wider audience within the Trust Over IP framework and the broader travel and hospitality industry.
