Notes

1. Editorial Calendar and Strategy - next steps

• David Luchuk suggested that the time was right to revisit the Committee's intentions for the Editorial calendar and asked whether members supported the idea of launching the cycle of themed content either this month or next.
• David Lucatch proposed the Committee not rush into production but, rather, get a firm handle on the content and channels available right now. The Good Health Pass is a good example of a possible centre-piece for communications products that can be themed and modular.
• Will Groah observed that finding resources to fill the required roles for the Editorial Calendar remains an open challenge. He also suggested that the Big 5 deliverables offer potential artifacts that can e used for content development.
• John Jordanemphasized the importance of having enough people lined up to do the work intended. He also proposed to share a new Aries website with the group, which offers a good example of content that could be re-purposed by Trust over IP.
• David Lucatch asked how we can leverage what other organizations are doing to amplify our messaging.
• On this point,Drummond Reed raised the idea of the COVID Credentials Initiative (CCI) Paper Credentials Workshop and (with thanks to Kaliya Young) reminded all that the next Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) event is coming up on April 20-22.
  • David Luchukwill ensure that all members are notified of the upcoming IIW event.
• Kaliya Young proposed that the Good Health Pass offers a key messaging opportunity because it represents a push to answer very difficult questions that apply broadly to credentials and identity, beyond the travel sector specifically.
