Notes
Dir. John Jordan shared shared his personal experience and journey by detailing that it’s important to develop technology with the understanding that it will be deployed in the human social context. He believes the core fundamentals of the effort. He went on to say that one of our Core Principles is that we aim to create an open community with this as a Core principle. Dir. Fleenor asked for feedback and Steering Member Chris Bucannan said Buchanan said he believes the why is the fact that when we’re talking about trust, we’re talking about knowing things and the decentralized nature of decentralized identity lends itself to horrific things potentially. He continued further with, if we don’t have someone to say “this is good”, then we don’t have anything standing in front of efficiency. He believes we need to highlight this and advocate for this on behalf of ToIP.
Dir. John Jordan stated that view can inform some of our communication efforts to engage the community and then Steering Member Drummond Reed said said that the idea of putting human needs in the context of governance, one thing that we are known for as an org is that we’re tackling the governance half of the equation and problem. Reed mentioned he's a little concerned that there's an idea that the technology part is being driven by other organizations and that we’re seeing signs within the market that there is traction.

WHAT are we trying to accomplish?
Dir. John Jordan believes that in order to have a system that globally enables digital trust at a globe scale, (i.e. car industry, steam/electric/open bodies/wheels, etc.) a variety of factors, there was a dominant model that was created, companies move from feature discovery to production. When this shift happens, that’s what we’re trying to achieve. How can we as an organization, encourage the establishment, that allows us to create digital relationships on the internet that aligns with our principles. We must include tech choices and governance model choices so that when we gain adoption, we have to help establish digital trust.
Steering Member Chris Buchanan said said he’s appreciates the car as an example and he believes the ecosystem idea, he likes to compare us to the NTSB National Traffic Safety Bureau, “they don’t make better cars, but they make cars better”
Dir. John Jordan, proposed the question, who are the organizations we need to bring into the conversation? He went on to say that within various industries, we want this to be adopted by and large because we believe the model is better for our citizens because they can conduct their data with easy and safety. Steering Committee member Reed saidmember Drummond Reed said, I would like to drill into some implications of what the “dominant design” strategy means for the ToIP stack.
