        • Task for reports

      • Special Topics Task Forces

        Technology Architecture TF — Wenjing Chu  Drummond Reed

        • The primary progress has been on the ToIP Glossary Workspace. Drummond said that it currently has ~200 terms, with only four currently still required definitions. The next steps are:

          • Complete the remaining TODO definitions.

          • Identify any other terms missing from final or draft ToIP specifications or white papers.

          • Identify any terms for which consensus on the distinguishing criteria is particularly important and assign those to the relevant WGs or TFs.

          • Consolidate all the definitions into our standard glossary format.

          • Ingest the glossary into our TEv2 (Terminology Engine v2) tooling when ready.

        Trust Registry TF — Darrell O'Donnell Antti Kettunen Andor Kesselman

        • 3 proposals were made and recorded. 

          1. Andor Kesselman presented on June 15. Focus was at DID Document level to allow for discovery and integration via "Profiles"

          2. Mathieu Glaude presented on June 29. Introduced a "Trust Input Protocol" concept that covers a future generic protocol that the Trust Registry Protocol should fit under.

          3. Darrell O'Donnell presented on July 6. Focused on interaction with existing systems-of-record that fill the role of "trust registry" and standardizing that interaction. This was essentially a new version of the first-generation protocol.

        • The first meeting on consolidation of the proposals was last week

        Trust Spanning Protocol TF — Drummond Reed Wenjing Chu Samuel Smith

        • We hope to arrive at a consolidated strawman by early August.

        • Our goal is a complete Working Draft (and implementation!) by IIW #37 (Oct 10-12).

        ACDC TF — Samuel Smith Phil Feairheller 

        • Phil said the TF is continuing to refine the ACDC spec sections covering graduated disclosure.

        • They have recently completed a digital authorization and signing POC in Europe.

        AI & Metaverse (AIM) Technology TF Wenjing Chu

        • Neil Thomson reported that the group is revisiting its charter given the steady growth of the space.

      • Credential Exchange Protocol TF - Mathieu Glaude 

        • Mathieu reported that the group is working to complete its analysis of four issuance protocols and four presentation protocols.

        • They have been spending the last few weeks developing criteria for evaluating the protocols.

        • They are taking a hiatus for the next two weeks, then planning to finish a first version by roughly the end of August.
