      • Also striving to support multiple credential formats (along the lines that Kaliya spoke too)
      • Still nailing down the profile, so a few of the proposed RFCs are still controversial
      • DESIRE for an open-source wallet, from ledger up to UI/UX. A lot of great work going on with different groups building wallets, but need to find combine synergy.
      • Jim StClair said that John Jordan talked to him about working together on a Chromium-style wallet project. John talked to Brian Behlendorf about it as Brian has talked about a similar project at LF Public Health.
    • Kaliya said that the CCI project at LF Public Health is very interested in an open wallet project. She also asked whether this group is talking to the Product Manager group at DIF.

      1. Focus on overall design principles for ToIP Foundation. Since are focused on guidance and not missioned to prescribe – what does this mean?
      2. Focus is on TIP independent and stack layer independent. So this is a separate full-stack deliverable.

    • DP0004 Privacy by Design (TSWG)
    • DP0005 Decentralization by Design (TSWG)

• Sam Smith - Task Force Proposal for a meeting to be scheduled for January. 
  • Verifiable Authorizations: Mapping vCreds spec to authorization semantics. Positioning this concept with respect to other industry activity.
