      - Technology Architecture TF — Wenjing Chu Drummond Reed
        Work on this was delayed until after IIW. Drummond Reed is going to be back on the job of converting it to Spec-Up and publishing Public Review Draft 2 before EIC.
        Trust Registry TF — Andor Kesselman Antti Kettunen Darrell O'Donnell
        No direct feedback at the moment—some conversations with Animo.
        Judith asked why an API-based registry vs. a downloaded file such as specified by the DIF Trust Establishment specification.
        Darrell O'Donnell explained that the API model is more flexible and can handle more use cases, including non-credential based use cases.
        The API model also enables existing registries to expose the registry data that they already have in a standard way.
        Judith also asked about how the OpenID Federation compared with the TRP? Darrell confirmed that an OpenID federation should also be able to expose their data via the TRP.
        Judith also asked about the Open Identity Exchange proposal for a "policy resolver" that could read and resolve what needs to be done to apply policies from one ecosystem to another.
        This could apply to producing derived credentials.
        Jo asked the question about whether the TRP will be implemented as a trust task protocol that runs over the TSP.
        We discussed the various reasons it might be helpful to have a TSP relationship with a trust registry:
        For strong security.
        For privileged access.
        For privacy-protected access.
        For a persistent connection, such as for push updates.

        X.509 VID Task Force — Eric Scouten Wenjing Chu
        Eric, Drummond, and Scott Perry held a session to discuss the technical and business case for CAs adding a DID or VID to the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate. There was a high degree of interest in "building that bridge"—including from one CA attending (Lori Groth of Digicert - https://www.linkedin.com/in/loriegroth/).
