All, just a quick reminder our next ToIP Utility Foundry WG call is coming up in a bit more than an hour – if you don’t have the invite in your calendar and would like to join mail me DIRECTLY and I will send it to you. (Invitations automatically come to those who joined the WG mailing list at https://lists.trustoverip.org/g/utility-foundry-wg.) Looking forward to meeting you soon! Best, André

ToIP Community,

As volunteer convener of the ToIP Utility Foundry Working Group I am reaching out to all of you via the all members list to bring this WG to your valued attention. You most certainly are aware of the key role of Layer One Utilities! I will keep this comms brief: You are cordially invited to joining our WG. Please come to one of the meetings on Tuesday next week. If you feel like stepping up for Chair or Vice Chair, please respond to me. [tl;dr audiences can stop here and just join one of the meetings next week.]

Intro & Updates

This WG facilitates a community of practice among governance authorities, implementers, operators, and service providers for Trust over IP Layer One Utilities (see mission and scope as defined in WG charter). WG org area is located in the ToIP Wiki at the Utility Foundry WG page, WG work is documented in github. We held two meetings so far, with mutual introductions of WG members and initial organization of work items, e.g. workflow/decision tree for lifecycle stages, establishing relevant liaisons, understanding of open source tech & interoperability. Sounds interesting? Next meetings are coming up!
