Identify, cull, highlight resources on use cases and best practices
Determine what is out there and what is missing from these resources, could be overall or in a specific topic area (see preferred topics below)
Potentially add to existing resources or create our own resource
Share what we have learned or drawn up through a blog, solution brief, white paper, database, etc. that includes our own POV on this technology in this space
Connecting and liaising with others in the Hyperledger community
Based on above activities and interests coming from this group, identify 1-2 groups that may help inform, knowledge-share, or have lessons learned to share on what we're doing
It is important to you that we…be a thought leader to shape the technology, shape standards, consider environmental impacts, and understand what is being done already
You want to do the above in...digital currencies, aid/philanthropy, supply chain, and best practices in implementation
And so first we will...define use cases, best practices, identify project proposals in proposed areas, and start a white paper on the above
Please review the results here:

Have annual events, summits and retreats
Indonesia Project
uneven subsidy for fuel program, wealthiest quarter capturing 33% of benefits
5000 established digital identity, helped with more fair access
biometric, facial and fingerpoint non-touch, mobile app–there was an issue with headscarves blocking facial recognition, also issue with fingerprints that were illegible
Used EverID platform
Mae La Camp in Thailand
uses Hyperledger Indy
35000 identities in refugee camp
iRespond and Evernym implemented
improves access to services in the camp, improves continuity of care
Use apps that allow them to keep records and use it outside of the camp
Sensitivities with population because they are not completely welcome in Thailand and have fleed from Myanmar, need to ensure ethics around informed consent and ensuring that the identities can't be used against the population
Information unraveling–negative party can't access sensitive information, for example, if just vulnerable population has a smart card, then just owning one can be a risk
