      2. Ursa refactor.
      3. Revocation issues (led by Brent)
      :
      2. We should probably wait until refactor is done.

    • 129 - post quantum
    • 126 - DIDDocs for Peer DIDs

    DIDComm Bootstrapping and Discovery Technique

    • Social Profile Association Credential

      Support DID Methods without endpoint support

      • Strategy: Rotate to something that does
      • Strategy: Allow indication of endpoint information in a message.
        • Endpoint, routing
        • reply_url
        • reply_to does not indicate routing. Perhaps reply_routing = []?
        • Requires message from DID owner first.
      • Scope: message, conversation, everything?
        • Not all messages will be replies
      • use cases:
        • existing relationship use local connetion like bluetooth. Does the DID Doc need to be updated? Reply info could be used to manage using a temporary local connection.
        • DID method that doesn't support an endpoint, or won't for legal reasons.
        • modify mediation path dynamically
      • Carrying Cost
        • maintaining temporary state
        • increased comlexity of sending message
        • different replication of service block in reply headers

      • Indy-Crypto to Ursa
      • Impact of Sovrin token - request to remove token code

        • Most information can be public, but some information could be used to attack specific nodes.
        • Key focus is to increase knowledge of and contribution to Indy
        • Ongoing discussions about decentralization of MainNet governance
        • Steward council meetings inform Stewards about Indy
        • Stewards need ability to raise concerns about Indy before code is developer and / or deployed
        • We need a process for stewards to be part of the release approval
        • Need more ideas for engaging with steward community.
      • Sovrin Governance Framework Discussion
        • Utility Governance Framework
        • Ecosystem Governance Framework
      • Version 3 of the SGF will be two efforts:
      • Would like Steward input into both frameworks.
