• Overall Objective:
  • GATF governance metamodel spec, published - foundation - part of architecture spec for a GF. Already have a spec and companion guide, but is not necessarily useful for GF creators. Typically they come in at a layer and need more guidance at each layer
  • Need templates for every controlled doc e.g. for TA & Certification, for Risk Assessment
  • This week we look at all the x layer docs that cover mainly primary doc and for core requirements section
  • remaining = 'glossary' - passed to the CTWG to provide template
  • Legal agreements will be pulled at layer specific area
• Templates  1) The Governance Framework Layer <X> Requirements Template and 2) The Governance Framework Layer <X> Requirements Companion Guide.  Click on the doc links for access.
  • All purposes of templates are you just come in and fill it out - no explanations
  • Use companion guide as reference
  • Aim for quick, easy and efficient use
  • Should we allow for a ToIP compliant framework - could help ToIP matter more in the marketplace - this is a gap in market around governance
  • This might be the primary reason for using the meta-model, will also be other non-ToIP compliant users who will use in their own governance & jurisdictional models - utility of the template is the key
  • Use suggesting mode to be clear in the documents
  • Based on Sovrin Foundation original GF
  • Included some generic content to explain all layers and as we get into layers will be more specific
  • One consideration - more modular deployment, just a module for e.g. just governance around issuance for DL's.  Much more atomized - using a fraction of governance meta-model, so need to be sensitive to perspective that you might not have a small aspect of the governance metamodel
  • Could be multiple GF's that reference same glossary - early adoption GF could have a small glossary that's separate
  • All terms wikis have scope can be very small
  • Encourage re-use - x-pollinate and this is the way
• Primary doc = WHAT?
• Requirements controlled docs = RULES = HOW
• UFWG Alex Tweeddale has begun completing Layer 1 template
• How do we establish TF to take generic docs to next level? need self-organizing groups to complete templates at each layer for primary doc + companion guide.  Joachim supporting L1.
• other considerations e.g. GF for verify the verifier
• these are very needful in the market especially for TA
• 3 reasons to participate & contribute
  • directly relevant 2 your work
  • indirect but adjacent knowledge and learning that will create a new business opportunities
  • connections & networking are very valuable
• query re format - g-docs might not be best tool, especially w/ DID per GF requirement
• in BCGOV using ML for Human readable versions as github repo
• could be important for all layers to use similar tech to allow for interop
• Drummond Reedand John Jordanvote for ML versions
