2025-11-18 Meeting Notes

Agenda:

  • whois

  • other tasks


Attendees:

  • @Sam Smith @Henk van Cann @Carly Huitema @Kevin Griffin @Kent Bull

Notes

  • Moved to remove the whois section from the spec, section 12. The motion was seconded and passed. Four yes votes, one abstain.

  • Last coding tasks:

    • Delegation implementation in the servicessection of the DID doc.

    • default did:keri and did:web in the alsoKnownAs section of the DID doc.

  • Look at the definitions we reference to the KERI Suite Glossary so we don’t have to copy the definitions into the list.

    • Suggest to go over all the definitions together.

  • Henk suggested that we use grey highlighted sections to clearly identify informative vs. normative language. We then had a discussion that if we have too much informative language in the body of the spec that the informative language should be moved to an annex.

  • Section 19.3 should be rewritten to name the 5 DID attacks, say did:webs SHOULD NOT be vulnerable to them. The rest of the section is informative and should be moved to an annex.

  • In the “About” section we specify a tag called “decentralised-internet-identity” and this allows people to find this spec. This tag connects specs and glossaries together.

  • We moved to use the grey highlighting box to indicate informative vs. normative language. The motion was seconded and passed with four votes. One member left early.


Action Items:

  • (spec update) Kent to check for any definitions referencing the whois section.

  • (spec update) Kent to remove the whois.md from the spec and to put it in a different folder in the repo.

  • (spec lint) Kent to review all of the definitions in the document with Henk to see what we can reference from the KERI Suite Glossary instead of explicitly restating them.

    • Claim ownership of the definitions. Keep the def of definitions in the spec instead of tref them from somewhere else.

  • (code update) Kent to finish the delegation implementation and default alsoKnownAs DIDs

  • (spec update) Use the grey highlighting to indicate informative vs. normative language.

  • (spec update) Move excessively informative language from the body of the spec into an annex.
