2024-09-16 Governance Committee Meeting Notes

This page describes the GovStack meeting notes. We use this meeting page to both run the meeting and keep notes, actions and decisions.

To avoid long meeting where the current status of each report is read out, we ask all participants to read the links below before the meeting, add in any questions they may have and then ask them in the meeting. This will focus the meeting upon the questions, decisions and actions needed for greatest impact.

Participants -

ITU: @Eskandar, Hani @Nabhonil, Roy @PSRAMKUMAR

GIZ: @Nora Hauptmann @Nico Lueck @Sarah Fischer @Andrea Donath

DIAL: -

EE: @Marika Popp @Hans Christian Ende

Proud Engineers: Andres Kütt, Kaspar Kala

Partnership with UNICC

 

Nico provided update on the partnership and scope of migration to UNICC infrastructure; slides shared by Nico (to be attached here)

Open source requires customer support for it to work
1. GovStack compliance alone doesn’t mean that the software works perfectly. And this should be off GovStack’s list of responsibilities

  1. Need to find a way to maintain the DPGs

  2. Arch group needs to devise a way to be more sure how to install, deploy DPGs in a standardized way

  3. A provider, before being onboarded, should be asked to do a reference implementation in GovStack environment.

@Nico Lueck to send email to Technoforte to check up on MOSIP

Discussion regarding future partnership with BMGF (@Andrea Donath )

  • Engage with MOSIP by putting GovStack as a future catalyst framework for future DT projects

Collaboration with BMGF to build a DPG neutral sandbox - @Eskandar, Hani

 

Recruitment of Digital ID

 

Search for eID - still on.

3 new job requisitions to be considered (@Marika Popp )

  • Digital ID

  • Digital Wallet + eSig; focus on technicalities of the requirement with leadership as optional

  • Registry BB Specialist

@Eskandar, Hani - due to competition with TWB in DID experts, potential collaboration with TWB - support of maintenance of the GS specs

@Nora Hauptmann - Timely opportunity to revive TWB channel; workgroup on DPI and new way of integrating GovStack into regional structures

@Eskandar, Hani - TWB is endorsing GovStack in West Africa engagements; TWB engagement during DPI summit (TWB is a cohost of DPISummit)

 

 

 

 

 

Partnership Upates

 

  • USAid - Feedback from BMZ: Declaration of intent instead of MoU (change in title only; so it is less binding). We integreated all comments as far as possible, the document is now back at the MOU Department of GIZ and we hope to receive a final version we can send back to USAid soon.
    Conversations on country level are proceeding at the same time (coordination regarding Zambia)

    • First alignment call with USAID around launching GS in Zambia on 09/17 (@Marika Popp )

  • CDPI -

    • Hani to make an offer around coalition

 

GS Arch. Training Program

 

  • @Eskandar, Hani - launched on 09/11

 

JOGET Prototype during DPI Summit

 

  • Joget developed a monolithic solution in PNG

  • Vasil will present how to implement a GovStack-compliant solution using Joget

  • Touchpoint with Joget and Vasil to ensure the prototype highlights GS arch and principles - @Nico Lueck - @Hani to follow up

 

DPI Summit

 

@Andrea Donath to put Veronica in touch with David
