Purpose
The purpose 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 regardless of their level in the ToIP stack. Note: this is meant to be a counterpart to a ToIP Technical Architecture TSS deliverable from the Technical Stack WG.
Deliverables
- ToIP Governance Architecture TSS—a specification of the overall layer-independent requirements that any ToIP-compliant governance framework must meet. The original Pre-Draft Deliverable is here (Google doc format), however this is now superseded by the wiki page draft.
- Note that one sub-component of this TSS is the ToIP Governance Metamodel, which has its own dedicated wiki page.
