Review of previous action items

Chairs

•  ACTION: Alex Tweeddale and Jesse Carter to present outcomes of discussion on:
  - editing tools
  - proposed structure of the spec
•  - Standardised pointer structure: As we go through the exercise of putting the initial MVP identifiers together, it will hopefully expose an underlying pattern of structure which we can then use to build out a model that we can share with other ecosystems
•  - Proposed idea, start with a “Minimum viable” set of identifiers - DIDs, X.509 and DNS which then we can iterate out from afterwards
  - work assignments to achieve first draft

How should we structure the spec and break up the work? How long should we give ourselves (realistically) to have a full Working Draft?

We talked about the essence of what the spec needs to cover. Several options were discussed:

1. Defining individual “bridges” between identifier pairs.

2. Defining how to produce a “cryptographic synonym proof” for each type of identifier that can then be used to prove synonymity with another identifier if each cryptographic synonym proof points to an identifier in the other one.

3. Creating a “high assurance bridge service” that actually does the work.

Markus brought up the option of treating each method of producing a cryptographic synonym proof as a DID method. Then a DID resolver, given two DIDs, could do the work of resolving them, obtaining the cryptographic synonym proofs, verifying them, and finally comparing them to prove that they are synonyms (or not).
