Outbound communications | All | Daniel Hardman asked if we were going to make regular communications about this activity in order to engage with other communities. An example of this type of communication is: https://daniel-hardman.medium.com/sentries-confessionals-vaults-and-envelopes-4a58cf4f8a5a Jo Spencer endorsed this approach and why we should be inclusive rather than exclusive. Jo Spencer mentioned this Sezoo post about organizational identity: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7021248294072827904 Eric Drury asked what channels should be involved. Drummond Reed replied:
Wenjing Chu proposed that we plan to do an outbound communication with each major milestone. There was consensus on the following: DECISION: We will make a conscious effort to publish and promote regular communications about the progress of the TSPTF in order to engage with other communities, and in particular we will do an outbound communication (such as a ToIP blog post) when we reach each major milestone. | |
10 mins | Our new Trust Spanning Protocol GitHub repo | Chairs | We asked for it and we got it: our new repo. Now we need to decide what we want to do with it. We discussed the potential issue that currently Discussions and Issues are not currently covered by EasyCLA. So there is the potential for IPR poisoning at those stages. Judith Fleenor clarified that anything that we take from Discussions (or Issues) and convert into a PR to go into the TSP must be from a ToIP member. She also asked anyone on this call to join as a member. Andor Kesselman pointed to this link. ACTION: Drummond Reed to post an issue asking about any other preliminary configuration steps we need to take for the repo. |
15 mins | Github Discussion topics | All | What are the first set of discussions we want to start as soon as Discussions is turned on? Suggestions:
|
10 mins | Nostr | One example of a "forerunner" protocol that we might want to evaluation is Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays). This Forbes article plus Jack Dorsey's blessing has ben generating a lot of buzz for this very simple "non-P2P" protocol.
APAC: Eric Drury recommended the following YouTube talk on Nostr: This 2.25 hour podcast with the founder of Nostr, plus Jack Dorsey, plus the author of a popular Nostr client called Damus is worth the entire listen if you are really interested in the full picture of the Nostr community. (You can also just read the transcript.)

15 mins | Drafting Process | All | Andor Kesselman produced the graphic below (#1) as a visual flowchart of the typical "IETF process" of developing a new specification. Is this the general process we want to follow? What should happen at each step? What would we want to do differently?
ACTION: Drummond Reed will produce a second version of Andor Kesselman's diagram with updates to the labels that correspond to the official names for certain stages according to our ToIP Foundation charter (which is based on our Joint Development Foundation legal roots at the Linux Foundation). |
5 mins |
| Chairs | Reminder: Our next pairs of meetings start in 3 weeks:
ACTION: Drummond Reed to discuss with Wenjing Chu and Darrell O'Donnell whether we can make TSPTF meetings happen for three out of every four weeks (instead of the current two). |
