Update on Good Health Pass

Udpate on Good Health Pass provided by Darrell O'Donnell

Indicio Introduction & AMA

Introduction to Indicio networks provided by Lynn Bendixsen

What can be frustration points? → Technical matters are usually sorted out quickly but formal matters (e.g. document signatures) may be time consuing

Could auth rules be used to create trust registries? → Auth rules define privileges for functions which can be executed on the network; trust registry is more a verifcation list not a transaction permission list
