"Digital Identity Ecosystems and their associated Trust Registries use a Trust Framework (such as the PCTF) to define how Issuers, Verifiers, Holders, and Digital Wallets should or must operate to be considered trustworthy." https://diacc.ca/trust-framework-components/pctf-trust-registries/
The Canadian Trust Registry is one example of standards that are not inclusive that need input of the sort we are trying to produce in Kantara. It subjects human holders of digital wallets to Trust Criteria that may well have the result of preventing human beings from accessing their rights and privileges. This is why I would like to see an early report on Inclusivity.
Tom Jones requested a change and got the following responses:
The Trust Framework defines the “how”, which may or may not include an entry in a Trust Registry. Holders belong on that list because they can be in a position to compromise the trustworthiness of an ecosystem.
Additionally, a person may be the holder of credentials, a business may be a holder of credentials, an IoT thing may hold credentials, and the wallet may hold (be the holder) of credentials for a person or a business. In this context, a Holder is more than just a person.
It's a person's decision whether they want to use a digital credential or not. Much like a person can choose to pay for an item with cash or use their biometrics on their smartphone to tap payment. A person's rights or privileges are not determined by this nor is it being insinuated nor is it being enforced on citizens.
At the end of the day, it's the individual's decision and choice, which Canadians have and will continue to do so, how they want to interact with the digital ecosystem. Something that is not so evident in the countries you mentioned. [Russia and China]
As we can see from the following example of a First Nations grandfather seeking to set up a bank account for his daughter; underserved populations are AT RISK from thinking like the above. This is a good example of why technologists should not be permitted to define standards that impact normal people. They just have no clue!
