John, Jo, Neil

  • For Issuers of the current paper, plastic or other electronic forms of credentials, issuing of VCs are an extension of whatever they are doing now 

  • VCs and interactions between Parties need Use Cases & Mental Models to capture Context and which detail all the participating ecosystem components

  • Capturing interactions, possibly in fine-grained detail will be key for Parties and Issuers, likely through logging

  • Use by 3rd Party intermediaries (e.g., Holder, Verifier) are a possible solution for a number of “VC Exchange” types and workflows, but will require establishing trust of with all the participating Parties

  • Consent is an unresolved problem which may see use of API to translate complex uses of data (and consequences) to non-experts

  • Current credential presentations approaches may have limitations in the real world

  • Verifiable Credential purpose/intended use/TermsofUse (W3C Data Model) should be carefully crafted and leveraged for Verifier governance (on use of credentials  data)
