Mission

The mission of  the TSWG Technology Architecture Task This Technology Architecture Task Force (TATF) is a task force of the ToIP Technology Stack Working Group. The mission of the TSWG is to draft a ToIP specification the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification that defines the overall technical requirements for the four layers of the ToIP stack. This TF will be specifically focused on adapting the original public document defining the ToIP stack.  Note: this specification is intended to serve as a direct a counterpart to the ToIP Governance Architecture Specification deliverable from the GSWG Governance Architecture TF. (The full set of first-generation ToIP Governance Stack specification specifications are described in this ToIP blog post.)

...

The primary deliverable of this Task Force is the  ToIP Technical Architecture Specification—a specification of the overall architectural requirements for each of the four layers of the ToIP stack and how they are each is abstracted from the layer below. It is anticipated that The requirements in this specification will lay the overarching foundation for one or more subsequent ToIP specifications that will specify protocols and interoperability requirements for each layer.

#2: ToIP Interoperability Test Cases

A second deliverable of this Task Force is ToIP Interoperability Test Cases (also initially being drafted as a Google doc). This is intended to evolve into the overall specification for the test cases that can be implemented by a commercial-grade test harness.

guide the selection and/or development of a set of component specifications as required to enable the complete four layer stack. See the Evolution of the ToIP Stack for a complete explanation of the development stages for the ToIP stack.

#2: ToIP Primer for Policymakers

A third second deliverable of this Task Force is a document written explicitly for policymakers, governing authorities, analysts, and other non-technical audiences who need to deeply understand the purpose, uses, and implications of the ToIP stack but do not need (or want) to dive into the technical details. Work on this document has not yet commenced, but a link will be added here as soon as it has.

The first major milestone of the Task Force is to publish publication of the first public review draft of the ToIP Technical Architecture Specification ToIP Technical Architecture V1.0 Specification prior to the Fall Internet Identity Workshop, Nov 15-17, 2022.

The next milestones are the publication of the second public review draft (and, if necessary, a third), followed by the publication of the final 1.0 specification.
