Darrell O'Donnell mentioned they've been focused on the Trust Registry Protocol which answers the following three questions: 1. This issue or authoritative for particular credential type under a governance framework to is is this verify are authorized. 2. Is this verifier, authorized to consume this credential, under this framework. 3. Does this trust registry, trust another trust registry under a particular governance framework which begins to allow us to assemble a trust web and to get the signals that are there because there's a big signal, but the difference between, say a national health trust registry announcing publicly that it trust another one versus using it, but staying silent on it that's quite a strong signal, so that one's underway we're hoping to distribute that in Q1 we'd haven't had any What I would call you know breaking feedback on the V1 where there are many more steps to any money more questions answer for version two but version, one should be distributed this quarter. He went on to share that the trust technology architecture Task Force underneath the tech stack working group has been extremely busy meeting twice a day on Thursdays, so that we get some APAC principally Australia participation what's been happening there is we've been going through various different graphics and components and we'll show you a graphic in just a moment. They're trying to get in the details on the tech side and how it aligns with the governance side. Level three is unique because we're not just talking about credentials anymore. In Layer 3 we're you'll notice in the top left of layer three in the orange it says credential exchange protocols. This is absolutely critical, this is where really a lot of the momentum behind ToIP came from and hyperledger areas is great example. Layer 4 we are defining a few things things like the trust diagram which again is a technical embodiment the governance frameworks and other pieces, but this is the diagram we're working through right now.
UFWG Updates:
Andre Kudra shared that the participation has declined, but mentioned that they're working on the Public Utility Directory and the Public Identity Utilities for Digital Trust Ecosystems - Overview. They're working to transition to a new leadership team Jessica Townsend Alex Tweeddale and Lynn Bendixsen. Alex Tweeddalewill be presenting today, he introduced the new leadership members formally with a new slide. He provided an overview of the changes occurring in the group, specifically the Layer 1 utility illustrates what companies are competing and what sort of cooperating and the nuances and differenced between the layers. They want to expand on the scope and bring exciting and creative ideas to the group. One piece of that is the impact of KERI and incentive mechanisms for verifiable credentials. They're also looking to discuss decentralized Layer 1 Governance and voting structures, meaningful cross-utility interoperability and cooperating versus competing Layer 1 mapping. The idea here is to bridge the utility foundry work and create more alignment with the work items from other WGs. Lastly we want to create a utility map to illustrate the the overlap and complete interaction. Jessica Townsend the introduced herself to the members and shared her experience working with Accenture and stated that she's been a member for about two years and has have the chance to participate with the UFWG, Communications Committee and the Steering Committee.
