Main Business
- The future of consensus in Indy Node: proposal for moving from PBFT View Change to Aardvark
- Update on Indy / Aries split
Future Calls
- Define pull request review process for Indy Node.

- What is important in a good review?
- If a review must be skipped, should note it in the Git commit message.
- Non-secrets in the Indy Wallet

- Debug use cases
- Richard's hit other uses cases that were better solved with DID Doc, pre-signing, signing API.
- Work-around with the web-crypto API
