In July, we convened the Perseus Technical Advisory Group, chaired by Icebreaker One.
Date: 1st July 2025 11:00-11:30 BST
Location: online
Chair: Frank Wales, IB1
Secretariat: IB1
The meeting aims were as follows:
- Update members on technical development and FSP technical requirements
Summary:
- It was agreed that AG2 is moving to a new format with shorter, more focused meetings, supported by separate, in-depth workshops for detailed work
- The standing request for a volunteer to act as an external co-chair was noted
- It was noted that the pilot phase, focused on gathering feedback on the permissions process and onboarding is complete and key learnings will be synthesized into a report
- It was noted that an informative workshop on FSP requirements for technology integration had taken place just prior to this meeting, and that the information gathered will help shape the trust services necessary for Perseus in production
- It was noted that a key priority for Q3 is to launch a sandbox environment
- This marks the transition into the “Live Ready” phase to prepare a live production environment
- The sandbox environment will be functionally identical to the production environment but will use synthetic data to allow for risk-free and confidential integration and testing
- Feedback from the workshop on FSP technical integration requirements noted the high value placed on a sandbox environment for testing, verifying solutions and identifying problems before going live
- It was noted that a change to the technical standards was proposed to lower the barrier to entry for participants
- A briefing document with the draft technical specification will be circulated for review and feedback.
- It was noted that members were encouraged to use the Slack channel to communicate between workshops and meetings
Next meeting: October 2025
