## Motivation

We see our task for creating this document in outlining TOIP Governance Stack Design Principles. We are seeking to create methodology on how to DESIGN and IMPLEMENT governance frameworks. These principles are needed for creating governing documents that will enable business, legal and social trust between entities engaged in any activity related to digitally verified credentials. By defining these principles we hope to assist in creating governance documents for user-centric, secure, accountable, interoperable, transparent and accessible utilities, protocols, applications, and ecosystems around verified credentials. Our goal lies in proposing not only the content of governance frameworks but also the way, how this content is organized for the future reading and use by humans and/or machines. We would like to highlight that these Design Principles are recommendations on **HOW** to create governing documents and **WHAT** these governing documents will contain.

- **Credential Verification** is the evaluation of whether a Verifiable Credential or Verifiable Presentation authentically and accurately represents the Issuer or Presenter. This includes verification that the proof is satisfied (normally via cryptographic validation), confirmation the Credential or Presentation is valid (e.g., is not suspended, revoked, or expired), and that the Credential or Presentation conforms to relevant specifications and/or standards. (from [PCTF Credential](https://diacc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/PCTF-Credentials-Relationships-Attributes-Component-Overview-Final-Recommendation-V1.0-1.pdf))

- **Governance Framework** - The set of business, legal, and technical definitions, policies, specifications, and contracts by which the members of a Trust Community agree to be governed in order to achieve their desired Levels of Assurance. Typically divided into a Master Document and a set of Controlled Documents. A Governance Framework is itself governed by a Governance Authority. A Governance Framework is also known as a Trust Framework. (from Sovrin [glossary](https://github.com/trustoverip/concepts-and-terminology-wg/blob/master/submissions/sovrin/Governance_Framework.md))

## Trust over IP Stack Governance Frameworks description

The ToIP stack does not define specific governance frameworks. Rather it is a metamodel for how to design and implement digital governance frameworks that can be universally referenced, understood, and consumed in order to facilitate transitive trust online. The ToIP governance stack is designed to be compatible with—and an implementation vehicle for—national governance frameworks as well as for regional and local governance frameworks of all kinds.

**TL4:** **Ecosystem Governance Frameworks**. Layer Four is where humans will directly experience the ToIP Governance Stack—specifically the trust marks and policy promises of ecosystem governance frameworks. These specify the purpose, principles, and policies that apply to all governance authorities and governance frameworks operating within that ecosystem—at all four levels of the ToIP stack. Any group of issuers who want to standardise, strengthen, and scale the credentials they offer can join together under the auspices of a sponsoring authority to craft a governance framework. No matter the form of the organisation —government, consortia, association, cooperative—the purpose is the same: define the business, legal, and technical rules under which the members agree to operate in order to achieve trust.
