Notes

1. Infographic Transition - final commentsmeeting coordination

• David Luchuk welcomed Peter Stoyko (Elanica) and invited him to discuss updates to the technical stack version of the Trust over IP infographic as well as introduce a first iteration of the "spatial scrolling" view via provided in the consumer-focused version.
• Peter Stoyko explained that the consumer version integrates many ideas into concrete situational use cases and presents the stack in more of a logical sequence that will make sense to users as a narrative. A revised version of this consumer-focused graphic is expected to be ready by May 7.
• Drummond Reedasked how different user scenarios will be presented in the consumer version of the infographic.
  • Peter explained that users will be able to navigate at the front end of the graphic.
• Drummond Reedasked how the governance aspect will fit into the consumer focused version.
  • Peter explained that it will be peripheral, allowing a view of the system to unfold based on where in the spatial narrative a user chooses to go.
• Wenjing Churaised a concern about how ledgers are depicted. Based on the current presentation, beginners may have the misconception that credentials are being saved in the ledger. This misunderstanding needs to be avoided.
  • Peter agrees to work on elements of the graphic that can be improved to prevent this misunderstanding.
• Ajay Madhokasked if the graphic can show the difference between approaches today and the benefits of the new model.
  • Peter suggested the consumer view would highlight benefits in this way.
• Kimberly Linsonsuggested this sort of product would have been especially helpful for her upon first joining the community.
• Anna Johnson raised a concern over misrepresenting the role of the ledger in the model and compatibility with the trust triangle.
• Daniel Bachenheimerasked whether the Foundation will be able to edit, update, revise the final pair of infographics.
  • Peter advised that the final product would be editable as a web-app.
•  John Jordansuggested the committee considers options for developing a narrated video based on the final infographics.
• David Luchukconfirmed that committee members would have until Wed May 5 to provide comments in the shared GDoc aimed at helping finalize the products.

3. Sovrin - Letter of Agreement - announcements

4. Request - Identity North & World Legal Summit

• David Luchuk advised the committee that Trust over IP has been invited to participate in panels at two upcoming events.
• Identity North has asked for ToIP members to lead a panel focusing on, among other topics, the Good Health Pass.

• Committee members indicated consensus support for both requests.

• Further, a liaison is required to follow up with Peter Stoyko on deliverables from his contract including the interactive infographic which needs to be finalized.
• David Lucatch indicated that Liquid Avatar may have a resource that can contribute to these tasks.
• David Luchuk commits to posting a request on the mailing list for additional volunteers. 

2. Update - Identity North

• David Lucatch provided an update on discussions with Krista Pawley (Co-Chair of Identity North) aimed at putting a plan in place for Trust over IP leads to participate in a session June 2 focusing on the Good Health Pass. The session is intended to include representatives from ID2020 and SecureKey as well. Additionally, Identity North has indicated that diversity in panelists is a priority.

• John Jordanobserved that ToIP has more material to work with now than had been the case over the winter. The Financially Speaking interview, SSI Orbit episode and soon the interactive infographic all provide source material for communications products.
• With a new resource coming on board to replace the Program Manager, there is also an opportunity to bring that person more directly into this set of activities.
• John Jordan proposed a more agile approach to products, whereby a "backlog" of items can be established so that members can take on individual items as required.
•  David Lucatchindicated that the challenge for ToIP is keeping up with the pace of news and movement in the market. There is an opportunity to bring on an intern or possibly a co-op student to help the community to a better job of getting its message out and assembling pieces for release.
• Ajay Madhoksuggested that ToIP needs to take the content it already has and create a simple storyboard that contributors can follow when producing and releasing modular micro-content.
• Lucy Yangshared the experience at CCI, where limited resources focused on the primary task of creating a member-focused newsletter. In s small group, it will always be difficult to achieve more than one main goal.

• He also observed that Peter Stoyko's infographic offers a very important tool that, in part, is oriented toward consumer messaging.
• David Lucatchreiterated that having a dedicated intern or co-op student on board will allow ToIP to stay relevant in the market by sustaining a cycle of releases.
• Daniel Bachenheimeradded that the infographic offers a way to explain ToIP to different audiences and, building on the previous point, remain relevant in the market.
• Drummond Reedsuggested that, once the Good Health Pass products are released, they will constitute a lighthouse for the ToIP model along with the infographic.
• John Jordansuggested that, between now and the next Communications Committee meeting, an interim discussion take place focusing on using the infographic and/or Good Health Pass to highlight one part of the stack. The stack is durable and can be an immediate focus of this committee's efforts.
