GovStack presence in MOSIP Connect Event

GovStack Expert Concept

@Nico Lueck

Presentation and Feedback on the GovStack Expert Concept = Similar to Compliance Listing of Service Providers on our Webpage

Comments

• Ramkumar: Can academic institution involvement be included in this?

• Wes: What are the next steps for this? Does it need to be approved in some form or can Nico et al just run with it

  • Yolanda: This could be discussed at the leadership retreat as a potential deliverable

Community agreement/contract

@Wes Brown

Should BBWG members “sign” the code of conduct and agree to be named on the spec and website?

What about assigning IP rights to GovStack contributions?

Comments

• Nico: The IP rights was started but got stuck because there is no GovStack entity.

• Ramkumar: This could be useful also for country engagement activities. Would be a good idea to confirm being identified for GovStack work

  • Some country info/feedback may need to be anonymized to encourage transparent feedback

• Hans Christian: Anonymized feedback is important. IP rights - This is one of the questions from Estonia that will be discussed at the leadership retreat

Feedback on Transition Plan

@Wes Brown

As Dial Transitions from active management of the core activities, we want to ensure that we help support the initiative as much as we can!

Questions:

• Are we going to continue with the three committees?

• Are we going to continue with the Triage/Commit Leads?

• Who will be taking the lead on getting the publication ready for Q2?

• Will there be a single person acting as the overall organizer of the various streams of work?

  • If so, who will that be?

  • If not, how will the overall direction of the project be managed?

@PSRAMKUMAR / @Steve Conrad

Ramkumar - BB presentations and interactions in deep dives with Kenya, Lesotho, Djibouti, Somalia led to better appreciation of Govstack approach, identification of as-is and to-be use-cases with relevant gaps , constraints and existing policies and resources and how govstack adoption of BBs can benefit. We should factor in the fact that countries are sensitive to exposing their current architecture, strengths weakness to others and public forums. BB groups are involved based oncountry specific requirements after consolidating next steps with them. Specific enhancements in Payment and ID BB spec are being discussed apart from work started in e-wallet group, may fit in Q2 time frame with given resources.

Steve - Seeing reduced participation in TC meetings. May partially be related to team members being part of country engagements as well as the end of many contracts.

Most BB groups don’t have specific plans for updates to their Building Block specifications

@Steve Conrad

We have updated some of the core guidance on authentication and authorization. Ramkumar is working on a deep dive on authentication.

Finishing review of PAERA document and will link to this guidance from the GovStack non-functional requirements document.

Need to identify next set of architecture topics that should be prioritized for conversation - these will likely come out of country engagements.

@Wes Brown

Similar to the TC, seeing significantly reduced participation. Primary activities remain use case evaluation, process/specification discussions, and roadmap planning.

GovStack critically needs a more strategic approach to involve country engagement back into core activities. Individual-based connections do not scale and reduce the ability for GovStack to facilitate and maintain a bi-directional relationship.

@Wes Brown

Citizen Engagement Use Case will be shared later this month at the March 27th PC meeting
