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 -
