The ToIP Foundation was established as a public resource for the enablement of more trusted communication using verifiable credentials.The depiction of interoperability has been demonstrated in a stack diagram with two hemisperes: a Governance Stack and a Technical Stack operating in four distinct layers 1) Utility (DLT Blockchain) Layer, 2) Provider (Agent/Wallet) Layer, 3) Credential (Issuer/Verifier/Holder) Layer and 4) Ecosystem (Governance Authority) Layer. This has been depicted in "Stack diagram and further explained in a concept RFC developed as part of the Hyperledger Aries project (https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts/0289-toip-stack/README.md)
As one of a set of "genesis" task forces birthed by the GSWG, This task force will further develop the roles and processes previously defined and will be used in establishing generally accepted roles, responsibilities and standard processes of actors participating in ToIP ecosystems
Prior to participating in the meetings please ensure that you are a member of the Trust Over IP Foundation. More detail on this can be found at this link.
To join at the Contributor Member level, there is no charge, and you do not need to join the Linux Foundation.
The GSWG P&R Task Force intends to create well defined descriptions of roles, responsibilities and process that all actors in the ToIP Ecosystem will operate. The focus will be on governance and operational processes and only touch upon technical processes as needed for its purposes. This task force will not focus on technical interoperability processes (deferring to the Technical Stack Working Group). These definitions are critical in the establishment and consistency of applying governance principles for all four ToIP layers.
Key deliverables will include, but are not limited to:
As a Task Force (TF) of the Governance Stack WG (GSWG), the GSWG P&R TF inherits the IPR terms from the GSWG JDF Charter. These include:
Key milestones will include, but are not limited to:
The work of the GSWG P&R TF will be complete when a final draft of deliverables are submitted to the GSWG and the ToIP Steering Group
To be developed
This task force uses the following for communications
