Hwajeong Hwangasked about "... strategic possible that a blog or event and mDLs and the VC a working together is possible and what we get is on a table or what is the stage."  Judith Fleenorexplained that is was an idea that came out of several session that Andrew Hughes gave at IIW and we are just in the brain storming stage for creation of such and event or series of BLOGs.  Hwajeong Hwangshared that the Korean project might be in at pilot test by then.  Judith Fleenor suggested that is she or LG CNS want to write a case study BLOG that would be great.

Drummond Reedshared:The announcements in the US, the first there were, I think it was five and five or six states that announced that they were going to start to issue in the ISO mDL format. And then I think it's been one more that's been since then and apple and Google both announced, they would accept those in their wallets.   At IIW there were several session on the verifiable credential forma and mDL, and you know this whole question of how the two are going to evolve to work together.

Action Item Updates:  Recording minute 16-31 for the discussion

Wenjing Chu gave an overview of the purpose and process for the Creation of Criteria for Steering Committee Membership.  Well documented in the slides above.

Two Main Points:

• Need not only the criteria, but also the associated process
• This moves into more formalized Policy and Procedure documents for the Foundation as a whole.

Judith Fleenoradded that in addition to the named criteria we need to also have a process for how they show they meet that criteria, what artifacts to the present at the time of elections.

Wenjing Chumentioned that another reason for having the criteria is so that we know who we are wishing to attract to the Foundation.  Judith Fleenoragreed and said this was one of her hidden agendas in having this work done.
