Layer 1 Governance Task Force - Workshop
Alex Tweeddale
Hey ToIP community 👋 A few weeks ago I introduced the Layer 1 Governance Task Force that will be kicking off. I have created a Wiki page here which gives a broad overview of the Task Force and the key objectives. There will be a kickoff Workshop for the TG next Tuesday at 9am PDT, 6pm CEST, 12pm PDT, 2am AEDT. The link for the call is: Layer 1 Governance TF Workshop Video call link: https://meet.google.com/fvq-bjud-qjc Calendar link: here This call will be recorded. After the kickoff workshop there will be more regular and structured Task Force calls, using the ToIP Zoom. For the workshop, I am going to create a Miro board split into 5 bubbles, which will be:
For some pre-reading for the Group, and given this is closely tied with the work going on in the Utility Foundry Working Group, I kindly ask all involved to read the Document: A Framework for Evaluating Layer 1 Utilities. This document should act as a starting point for the questions and risks that need to be addressed in the workshop. The section, "Evaluating a Utility" already begins to list some of the points that should be brought up and covered within the workshop. These need to be expanded, iterated and thought over more thoroughly, before being included in a Governance Template. Feel free to add any thoughts into the document before the workshop, which we can discuss therein. I look forward to seeing everyone there, please email me directly if you have any questions!

Layer 1 Governance Framework Task Force: Kick off
Alex Tweeddale
Hey ToIP Community, I hope everyone had a great #IIW 34 if you were there! I wanted to write to the community to introduce my plans and thoughts for the Layer 1 Governance Framework Task Force (we need to come up with a good acronym here 😄). I have volunteered to lead the work here and wanted to put some initial thoughts together. ScopeNow that the Trust over IP Metamodel has been completed and the initial foundations are in place, it is time to get to the fun part - building out governance templates, policies and documentation for companies/projects/consortia to use in order to adopt decentralized identity in the real world. Layer 1 is focussed on any Utility/Registry/Platform which can anchor Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), generally for the purpose of furthering self-sovereign identity use cases. And the scope of this can be BROAD:
Of course, the range of actors involved in governance in each of the above instances can differ drastically. The Governance Authorities responsible for overseeing the storage of public DIDs could be a:
So our job in this task force is breaking this down into what each of these Governance Authorities need to do to ensure:
(To scratch the surface) In short, to do Layer 1 Governance well, accurately and in its entirety, there will be a lot of work which will need people of different specialisms to come together. This is where you can come in and help. Where do we start?
I would also like to combine this work with that of the Utility Foundry Working Group (UFWG) and the leadership there, since this directly supports the objectives, goals and interests of ToIP Utilities. And breatheee… Please let me know how this all sounds, and whether you agree with the direction here. Then the next step would be deriving the amounts of interest and starting with the workshopping session! --

ToIP update: Utility Foundry Working Group
Alex Tweeddale
ToIP Community, we have an exciting announcement to share.
To kick off the new year, we have decided to re-energise and refresh one of our core working groups, the Utility Foundry Working Group (UFWG).
For those of you who don’t know already, for the last 18 months the UFWG has successfully compiled a Directory of the existing Layer 1 public utilities and has been developing a framework for becoming a ToIP-compatible utility. Such work can be found on GitHub here.
What is changing?
The first change is in the group’s leadership positions.
We’d like to say a massive thank you to the existing Co-Chairs of the WG, Andre Kudra (esatus) and Mathieu Glaude (NorthernBlock), who are stepping down from their positions within the WG. Both Andre and Mathieu have played a pivotal role in shaping the group to this point and have been excellent contributors to the community in general. We’ll be sure to see them participating in the discussions going forward from a more reserved position.
And a huge welcome to our new Co-Chair candidates:
Jessica Townsend (Accenture) Jessica has served as the Corporate Identity Global Lead for the last 18 months at Accenture and has recently transitioned to focusing on Dynamic Credentialing and Certifications. She was an early contributor to the Bedrock Business Utility and has supported deliverable creation within the Utility Foundry Working Group over the last year as well as serving as the ToIP Steering Committee proxy for Accenture.
Lynn Bendixsen (Indicio)
Alex Tweeddale (cheqd)
Alex currently leads Governance & Compliance at cheqd; he specialises in Layer 1 governance models, and has written the first decentralised governance framework for SSI. Previously, he worked as Product Manager for Spherity, leading work with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). He has been an active contributor to ToIP in both the Governance Stack Working Group, and more recently, in the Utility Foundry Working Group.
In the 18 months of the UFWG, we have seen public identity utilities develop broadly in their usability and functionality. This is largely due to the flexibility of the decentralised identifier (DID), which enables trust to be rooted onto a variety of platforms and networks, each with different functions.
For example, we have seen the emergence of KERI, which provides a new unique alternative to blockchains for handling decentralised trust, enabling self-certifying credentials and authentic chained data. Similarly, we have seen the emergence of cheqd which focuses on providing incentives in the form of a native token for issuing and verifying credentials, bridging SSI with the expanding world of DeFi. Both of these have developed alongside more accomplished identity utilities, and serve to expand the scope of SSI in different directions.
It is therefore important for the WG to continue its existing focus of developing a framework to accommodate all public identity utilities, but also make best efforts to more closely align with the latest Layer 1 innovations in technology, governance, and decentralised finance.
We can’t wait to get this year started, and look forward to seeing both new and familiar faces going forward.
We’d like to invite all interested ToIP members to attend the next UFWG meeting on Tuesday 1st February to vote in the new leadership changes and voice your thoughts on the expanded scope of the WG.
Next meeting: 1st February 2022 6:00 AEST | 15:00 EST | 20:00 CET Meeting link:

New eSSIF-Lab open call
Dear ToIP friends that are from Europe,
eSSIF-Lab has just published an open call, that is open for EU-related SMEs, not-for-profit entities or research organizations until January 15th, 2022. Applications can be submitted for ✅Developing a solution + pilot for a real-world problem that leverages SSI ✅Developing business-oriented extensions to the eSSIF-Lab basic infrastructure
There's €53K available for each proposal selected!💰 👉APPLY here https://bit.ly/3C8XwW9
"Completing the framework", the final eSSIF-Lab's Open Call
Over the past years, the question of how we can protect our identity in the world of online has been getting more heated. The Self-Sovereign Identity paradigm stepped in with the idea itself, that everyone should be in charge of their own digital personal information, and that it is the data owner who should decide on how this data is being used and by whom. While we are still in the early stages of SSI, there is solid traction with standards in development, governments funding the development of ledgers and proof of concepts and a growing number of companies developing products. As a new layer of the internet, there are new platforms based on the standards, and products and services for verticals to be built. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) promises to empower European citizens with new means to manage privacy, eliminate logins, and enjoy much faster and safer electronic transactions via the internet as well as in real life. Who is eSSIF-Lab? eSSIF-Lab (European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework Laboratory) is a lab-to-market project that goes under the line “strengthening internet trustworthiness with electronic identities”. The project facilitates the further development, integration and adoption of SSI technologies through a cascade funding approach targeting innovative companies developing SSI based solutions. eSSIF-Lab is championed by leading experts in SSI technologies, cascade funding, business acceleration and continuous deployment of open-source. In addition, eSSIF-Lab Framework (at GitLab) will be built upon the open-source components provided through its Infrastructure-oriented open call and the generic SSI-based services and applications (being developed with the support of the eSSIF-Lab 1st Business-oriented Programme) and the SSI domain-oriented solutions addressing real-world needs or opportunities (that will be supported by the eSSIF-Lab 2nd Business-oriented Programme). "Completing the framework" Open Call eSSIF-Lab is kicking off one last additional Open Call "Completing the framework", on the 15th of November, lasting until the 15th of January. With this final call, eSSIF-Lab will support: SSI Solutions § the development and demonstration of SSI working solutions for a real-world, domain-oriented problem or opportunity, in prioritized eSSIF-Lab areas (Health Tech, e-Government and Education) or in the Open Disruptive Innovation track. SSI Infrastructure Extensions § the development and demonstration of business-oriented extensions to the eSSIF-Lab basic infrastructure, adding features and value which is not already available within the eSSIF-Lab or the wider SSI community. Open Call benefits: There's € 212 000 (up to 4 proposals expected to be selected) available in this call with a maximum amount of € 53.000 financial support for each third party. The call is open to individual SMEs, not-for-profit entities or research organizations registered in a Member State of the EU (including their OCT), in an H2020 Associated Country or in the United Kingdom.
Best regards,
Oskar
