Underlying assumptions

  • DI technology could in principle be deployed vertically integrated on a per ecosystem basis - but we are not interested in this approach
  • We are only interested in deploying DI technology with a strong horizontal integration to achieve interoperation with other ecosystems
  • We assume that the EU efforts around eIDASv2/EBSI/EUDI Wallet and such will be a focal point in driving DI technology fostering such horizontal integration in the emerging DI ecosystem
  • We are by no means convinced that the new DI ecosystem will be successfully set up in the coming years and we have to prepare for all of those potential outcomes:
    • The DI ecosystem will be stepwise implemented and delivers value as hoped for
    • The DI ecosystem is a failure and nothing really comes out of it
    • The DI ecosystem is established but not in a way we hoped for
  • We are primarily interested in defining actions we can take as NREN or its umbrella organisation GEANT
  • When judging outcomes, we do this considering our core values:
    • openness: we want to build our solutions on open standards with no artificial barriers for entry
    • inclusiveness: the openness on technical level gets extended on the governance level
    • global scale: education and research processes are often of global. National and regional are often not good enough
    • authority: we want to keep authority (standards, governance etc.) on our core processes
    • ...

Approach

  1. split the work aligned with the Trust Over IP Model
    as per https://trustoverip.org/toip-model/, i.e split into four layers in two stacks → eight work items: T1, G1, T2, G2,... T4, G4
  2. elaborate each item regarding the following aspects:

    SubchapterDescriptionExample
    The work itema brief description of the topic at hand
    Transformative aspects

    What will potentially change with respect to our current way of delivering value in general?

    And what will change with a particular view to our ecosystem? Include a critical review of our existing ecosystem services and the nature of potential impact on them.


    Opportunities

    Describe use cases in our ecosystem that could potentially benefit from an emerging DI ecosystem

    Describe assumptions / requirements towards other players / outcomes etc. to make it deliver value to our ecosystem

    Describe actions we need to fulfil as a community (ecosystem) to get such value delivered to our ecosystem


    Risks

    Describe potential situations or actions of other important stakeholders leading to a failure to deliver value to our ecosystem

    This could be linked to external developments but also to our inability to fulfil above actions or to get consensus in our own ecosystem


    Engagements

    Describe (crowdsourced within our group) prior or ongoing activities in our ecosystem relevant to the topic at hand by NRENs and GÉANT


  3. characterise the work items for further individual treatment
