Mission

The mission of  the GSWG Governance Architecture Task Force (GATF) is to draft a TSS (ToIP Standard Specification) that defines the standard requirements for all ToIP-compatible governance frameworks. Note: this is meant to be a counterpart to a ToIP Technical Architecture TSS deliverable from the Technical Stack WG.

Deliverables

1. ToIP Governance Architecture Requirements and Design Principles—a recommendation of the essential requirements and core design principles that guide the development of the ToIP Governance Architecture TSS.
2. ToIP Governance Architecture TSS—a specification of the requirements that any ToIP-compatible governance framework must meet. Some requirements are expected to be layer-independent while others will depend on the specific ToIP layer the governance framework is intended to govern.
