The meeting held on February

5

20, 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

discussions focused on multiple key points, decisions, and action items

from the discussion

. Here is a summary:

Objective
  1. Outline and Prioritization:

    • 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.
    • group acknowledged the need to revisit and fill in the outline created in the previous meeting, although it hadn't risen in priority for completion.
  1. Document Location and Access Issues:

    • There was difficulty in locating a specific document that was stored outside the main folder, highlighting a need for better document management and sharing protocols.
  2. Discussion on Trust Profiles and Pass Management:

    • The team discussed expanding the work done in 2022 and 2023 on trust profiles and managing passes, including redemption, transfer, and resale aspects. There's a plan to repackage this information for broader use.
  3. Multi-Event Pass Consideration:

    • A significant portion of the meeting focused on conceptualizing a pass that could be used across multiple events or attractions, including the redemption process and how these passes are managed among multiple stakeholders. The discussion also touched upon the implications of such a pass from an identity and data privacy perspective.
  4. Action Items for Moving Forward:

    • Developing an illustration element catalog and drafting documents in Lucidchart for better presentation of concepts.
    • Compilation of formal documents detailing the work done and incorporating illustrations where applicable.
    • Scripting scenario use cases for multi-event passes and exploring new or different aspects from an SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity) and data perspective.
  5. Technical and Operational Challenges:

    • The conversation also delved into technical aspects like the management and transfer of passes, specifically focusing on the role of digital identities (DIDs) in binding and transferring passes securely.
  6. Offline Capabilities and Security Considerations:

    • There was an acknowledgment of the necessity for offline capabilities of passes, especially in scenarios where network access might be compromised. The team discussed the balance between maintaining security and providing flexibility in pass usage.
  7. Risk Analysis and Security Enhancements:

    • Towards the end of the meeting, the importance of a detailed risk analysis was mentioned, along with the need to ensure that the system is secure against potential fraud, without significantly complicating the user experience.

Throughout the meeting, there was an emphasis on ensuring the system's adaptability to various operational scenarios, enhancing security features, and simplifying the user experience while addressing the technical challenges of implementing a multi-event pass system. The team agreed on several action items to move forward with the project, highlighting the need for further discussions and refinements in future meetings

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
