2021-09-27 ACDC Meeting Notes

Administration

We need to complete the final Lead Author assignments in the Deliverables table on the ACDC home page (<5 mins)—Sam Smith
We quickly cleaned up the table so that all specs have lead authors.

Terminology

ACDC Terms Wiki—Drummond Reed
Steven Milstein reminded us that Daniel Hardman already set up an ACDC terms wiki at https://github.com/trustoverip/acdc-tf-terms/wiki
Drummond Reed suggested that it be simplified to "acdc-terms/wiki".
DECISION: We should revise this terms wiki to use the name "acdc-terms".
ACTION: Drummond Reed to contact Daniel Hardman to rename the repo.

Compact Label Normalization

Future KERI change to use SAIDs Revised labels for ACDC that are normalized Sam Smith
See screenshot #1 below.

Microledger

Robert Mitwicki
He gave an explanation of microledgers based on a spec being developed at the Human Colossus Foundation—see screenshots #2 and #3 below.
It generalizes the idea of a KEL (key event log).
Sam Smith agreed that the generalization of event logs is a good idea. His only concern is that when it is generalized, it becomes much easier to make security mistakes. That's why the KERI and ACDC specs are much tighter.
Robert Mitwicki is planning to give a session at IIW on microledgers.
