The purpose of the GSWG Governance Architecture Task Force (GATF) is to draft specifications and companion guides for ToIP-compatible governance frameworks (regardless of their governance targets in the ToIP stack). The first generation of this TF, completed in December 2021, developed the foundational requirements for all ToIP-compatible governance frameworks (summarized in this ToIP blog post). The second generation, which will begin in September 2022, will tackle specifications and companion guides for specific governance framework components.
The second generation GATF will be focused on developing templates, guides, and methodologies for specific types of governance framework documents whose governance targets are specific components of the ToIP stack (e.g., DID utility, key storage module (KSM), digital wallet, endpoint system, trust registry). The specific deliverables will be determined by the TF once it gets underway.
Rather than breaking down Governance into ToIP layers, we have decided to take a ‘component’ based approach. “A specific component of the ToIP stack (at any layer) identified by the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification or by a ToIP component specification. Examples: DID utility, key storage module (KSM), digital wallet, endpoint system, trust registry, revocation registry.”
Outputs can include:
Outputs will be documented here in the confluence wiki. Ongoing work will happen within the ToIP GSWG google drive (ToIP members only).
