The ToIP EFWG meeting on March 14, 2024, began with a brief acknowledgment of Pi Day and reminders about adherence to meeting agendas and trust competition laws. The agenda included community topics, announcements, updates on components and case studies, a draft of the third-generation diagram, and any other business. Richard was welcomed as a new member, and Andy from the human experience working group was mentioned, with anticipation for his group's input at the next meeting.
The meeting focused on discussing the ecosystem components paper and reviewing case studies to assess if the components are comprehensive and whether anything was missing. A significant portion of the discussion revolved around the third-generation stack diagram, floated for consideration. This diagram integrates technologies and governances across multiple layers, with the aim to model business and ecosystem operations more effectively. Concerns were raised about the need for more clarity on trust interactions, the roles of wallet providers, and the mechanisms for establishing trust within ecosystems.
Action List:
- Clarification of Terms: Refine and clarify the usage of terms such as "verifier," "issuer," and "holder" to prevent confusion, possibly in collaboration with the concepts and terminology working group.
- Glossary and Role Definitions: Develop or enhance the existing documentation to clearly define roles within the trust ecosystem, ensuring newcomers understand each party's responsibilities and the sequence of trust establishment.
- Case Studies Adjustment: Revisit and possibly expand the case studies to address the feedback regarding the need for explicit inclusion of identification and ID proofing processes, as these foundational elements are crucial for establishing trust.
- Technical Trust Anchors Discussion: Further discuss and detail the distinction between governance as a trust anchor and technical trust anchors to articulate the nuanced governance layers within digital ecosystems.
- Integration of Wallet Providers: Consider explicitly including wallet providers in the ecosystem diagrams or discussions, recognizing their role in facilitating trust and identity verification.
- Trust Establishment Mechanisms: Explore and document the trust establishment mechanisms more thoroughly, focusing on the verification paths, trust registries, and the hierarchy of trust within ecosystems.
- Feedback Incorporation: Review and incorporate the feedback received during the meeting into the draft of the third-generation diagram and the components paper.
- Governance Architecture Task Force Collaboration: Engage with the Governance Architecture Task Force to refine the current models and diagrams, ensuring they effectively represent the components and interactions within trust ecosystems.
These actions aim to refine the understanding and documentation of digital trust ecosystems, enhancing clarity, inclusivity, and the practical applicability of the ToIP frameworks and standards.
