Kyle Robinson introduced himself and Nancy Norris and their Mines Digital Trust Carbon Accounting Use Case presentation. Nancy Norris introduced herself as the Director of Strategic Policy at VCS Ministry of Energy Low Carbon Innovation. She started with an introduction into how they got involved in this collaboration. They started with a proof of concept, then started a pilot and created a scaling strategy for the digital ecosystem and expansion. Part of their initial step was creating an POC enterprise wallet, in addition to the POC. They also presented a Use Case at COP26 in collaboration with Copper Mountain Mining Corporation, Open Earth Foundation and BC Government. They're committed to an Open Source approach and interoperability are both essential to the mission of their efforts. They're working with a number of open organizations like Linux Foundation and ToIP. Nancy shared a video that illustrates how BC Mines can share their data with companies for exploration and provide significant advantages in terms of branding metals and minerals to global investors. The demonstration shows how data can scale in a global accounting platform, via Hyperledger Aries.
Kyle Robinson shared that the work that was illustrated in phase one of the demo is the predecessor of phase two with a tool called Traction that's an API to connect an existing system with the new API can be connected to a wallet for issuing, holding and verifying by a singular business line integration. In addition to the API, they're build out a showcase and traction code (https://github.com/bcgov/traction). He went on to share the ToIP Layer model and provided an use case graphic that illustrates what they need to have a complete production use case. It align on the Governance Stack: Layer 1 with Utility Governance Framework, Layer 2 with Agent/Wallet Governance Framework, Layer 3 with Credentials Governance Frameworks and Layer 4 with an Ecosystem Governance Framework. He shared that on the Technology Stack, Layer 1 aligns with Public Utilities, Layer 2 with Peer-to-Peer Communication, Layer 3 with Data Exchange Protocols and Layer 4 with Application Ecosystems. He went on in detail regarding the carbon accounting pilot that is underway that depict the use case in a workflow. It illustrates an indicator for the governance framework that's applied from an issuer, a verifier and a holder perspectives throughout the entire lifecycle of the process.
Drummond Reed asked if the governance frameworks they're creating will be published and Kyle Robinson confirmed that they will be published and right now they're using markdown and GitHub to track the progress and digital trust that's currently in play within the BC Government. Wenjing Chu agreed the presentation was comprehensive and relatable for the architecture and implementation of the stack. He asked about the accountability factors into play. How are these implemented and how are they tracked in real time. Kyle Robinson mentioned that getting documentation available is step one for this who process and GitHub is the primary place to store the documentation currently and in terms accountability, that needs to be written into the documentation as reference and protocol to follow. Martin mentioned the idea of a Hackathon in the future to collaborate on to continue helping to drive development and progress within the ecosystem.
