  • 🎥 6'18": Nigel Earnshaw, BBC

Review previous action items

🎥 6'51": Reviewed action items from previous meeting:

ACTION: Eric to coordinate with DIF GitHub owners to re-tag the 1.1 versions of the specs with language that reflects final status. → DONE

Readout from GDC

🎥 9'01": Scott provided a detailed overview from the Global Digital Collaboration (GDC) conference held earlier this month.

Scott participated in discussions about trust infrastructure, standards, and AI. The event, which attracted over 1000 attendees and 46 standards organizations, covered topics including eIDAS wallet requirements, agentic AI, and the C2PA conformance program. Scott reported significant interest from various stakeholders, including EU trust services companies and Web Trust, and mentioned upcoming meetings in September to explore collaboration opportunities.

We continue to fight the misperception that human and organizational identity are part of the C2PA core specification and not hosted here in DIF/CAWG.

Scope for identity assertion 1.2 effort

🎥 25'29": There are 38 open issues and one pull request against the post-1.1 milestone for identity assertion. Prioritize issues to pull into 1.2 effort.

Reviewed the following identity assertion issues and PRs:

Agentic identity discussion

🎥 53'51": CONFIRMED planning to use next meeting (28 July) for a scope-of-work discussion for agentic identity within CAWG with invited guests from ToIP (Wenjing Chu), DIF (Andor Kesselman), and C2PA (Leonard Rosenthol and Karen Kilroy). Goal: Establish boundary between CAWG effort vs C2PA AI/ML working group.

Alex reminds us to also consider trust registries for agentic and other identities, especially looking at the UNTP, UN Global Trust Registry, and EBSI.

Scott filed issue #236 to track delegation as part of a future identity assertion spec.

CAWG home page redo

🎥 1h07'54": At NY on-site discussion last month, the CAWG home page was identified as a concern. It doesn’t do much to market or explain the CAWG effort. What would we like to say at cawg.io?

Promotional video. ACTION: Eric to explore whether we can use the Okta Identity 25 video profile. Members feel that this is an excellent high-level overview of CAWG.

ACTION: Scott to work up initial draft text to use on CAWG home page.

GOAL: Have content ready by first of September due to various conferences and presentation opportunities occurring in September.
