25 mins	CESR and CBOR Deterministic Encoding	Sam Smith	Sam will give an update on the CESR (Composable Event Streaming Representation) specifications. Ideally he will also be able to contrast CESR with a new IETF specification called CBOR Common Deterministic Encoding (CDE) aka draft-ietf-cbor-cde-00. On the W3C Credentials Community Group mailing list, Anders Rundgren said CDE may be significant because: - JSON and XML require 33% more space than CBOR for dealing with binary data. - The availability of a textual counterpart (Diagnostic Notation) makes CBOR suited for configuration files. - Last but not least, deterministic encoding eliminates stuffing data-to-be signed in B64 or relying on complex canonicalization schemes. Although the standard is not yet finalized, outstanding issues only relate to edge-cases like NaN payloads. Anders also pointed to this testbed where you can try CDE. Sam explained that TSP routing is a unique combination of vector and table routing. He shared this discussion thread from the KERI work: https://github.com/WebOfTrust/keripy/discussions/612 See screenshot #1 below. Ed Eykholt asked if it is proposed that CESR is the only serialization format for the TSP. Sam explained that yes, because CESR can carry JSON, CBOR, and MsgPack.
25 mins	Working Draft Review	Wenjing Chu	Wenjing went over the latest additions to the spec as it nears content completion. See screenshots #2-#6 below that cover control messages and relationship formation.
5 mins	Review decisions/action items Planning for next meeting	Leads	We plan to have one more regular meeting this month (Wednesday 13 December) and then take off 3 weeks for the holidays, i.e., skip the Dec 20, 27, and Jan 3 meetings. So our first meeting in 2024 will be Wednesday Jan 10.
