Notes form December 23 Meeting

• Andor
  • $f(x) \to g(y) \to h(z)$
  • 
  • Humility we don’t know what contexts will be required
  • Suggestion: Move the current stuff into a folder for v1 and create a new folder for v2.
• John:
  • Two different things:
    • Standards bodies aligning
    • Not a technology issue a goverannce issue for v1
    • Alice --> Bob : trying to discern trust:
      • might look up trust registry
      • might do other things.
      • $f(x)$ very complicated decision process.
  • some of these decisions are not computationally decisive
  • In place conversion from v1 to v2 w/ PR
    • If major version change, might be easier to start with a fresh page.
  • Continuity
    • v2
  • 2 things we are doing:
    • Trying to do things right in the spec.
    • Adoption.
• Jo: More aware of the larger landscape in v2
  • VC: evidence field might be helpful
    * a set of ways you might check about it.
    * reference check dids
  • Discovery:
    * generalized search function
    * some other context
  • Mistake of reductionism toward a very complicated problem
  • v1: 3 simple trust services:
    • issues, verifiers, governance. Is that enough.
  • How do we create a more broad defined understanding of the role of the trust registries and consistent.
  • Split $f(x)$ into two components.
  • f <- categories of internal, external information.
  • robodebt: work out how much people should be paid for social services.
  • generalize information to the whole environment. specific information not going to get into.
  • Trust registries. Not talking about trust decisions.
  • Externalization of capabilities through services.
    • Define services.
  • fuzzy matching
  • onion picture
  • v1: 3 basic bits of information
    • externalize that
  • $f(x) = f(x_1) + f(x_2) ... f(x_n)$
    • $f(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n)$ = $(f(X))$ where ${x_1, x_2\,..., x_n \in X}$
  • $x_1$ services provided by the ecosystem
    • FOCUS OF SPEC is HERE
  • $x_2$ internal to the decision maker.
  • $x_3$ things external from the decision maker and the environment.
• Definitions of services in v1 need to be redefined in v2
• Terminology will change across versions.
• Good this TF is thinking about this more hollistically.

Action Item

• Next Week Off
• Proposal of a way forward that people can align on.
• Primary models and basic evolution approach for future versions
• Agreement about how to move forward on collaboration. Google docs or Github.
