Notes

Good Health Pass
What's Holding Us Back?
- Tech depth - folks may not know what they can add to.
- Biting off more than we can chew - e.g. Layer interleaves are a lot of (unpaid) work, requires depth (capability) and too much work (capacity)
- Amount of work is causing missed deadlines - too much? too fast?
- Concisely explain a specific topic - may help others recognize that there are places to contribute.
- Education of folks is hard - base knowledge needed to start contributing. Blockchain, DIDComm, business use cases, + governance.
Get something out ASAP - startup approach for v1.0 being nearly embarassing.
- "Big 4" - Laws of Identity, Principles of SSI,
Can we simplify the 4-layer
- v1.0 points to an exemplar that is breaking things down
  - e.g. Layer 1/2
  - Conceptual:
    - here is what the Layers are...
    - here is what the interconnects are - how the layers interact
    - Here is where we: KNOW, THINK WE KNOW, HAVE A HUNCH, GOT IT WRONG
- GHP has been a cutting function -
