Agenda

Aries Exit from Incubation
- Criteria: https://tsc.hyperledger.org/project-incubation-exit.html; Hyperledger Aries Request: Hyperledger Aries Proposal to Exit Incubation Status
- On the TSC agenda tomorrow morning.
- Please review the request document, add your name to it if you agree, review and update the document as you see fit.

AIP Next
- https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/pull/579 (Main AIP 2.0 PR)
- Discussion:
  - https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/pull/591
  - We need new RFCs for the Indy AnonCreds, JSON-LD and BBS+ sub-targets to describe the credential exchange attachments for each
    - Daniel Hardman agreed to create the Indy one
    - Timo Glastra agreed to create the JSON-LD VC format one, with help from George Aristy
    - The BBS+ one will likely be an evolution of the JSON-LD one
    - Draft and review preparation to be done for next week's meeting.
  - Remove Credential Manifest as a sub-target
    - Timo Glastra is working on a minimal implementation of a replacement suitable for the issue-credential protocol and will include that in the new RFC mentioned above.
  - Presentation Exchange RFC – George Aristyto review/revise the RFC 0510-dif-pres-exch as needed, mainly to nail down the specific version of the PE spec to use.
  - DIDComm message envelope RFC – Troy Rondato provide an overview of his RFC 0587 PR, including, effort needed to add support to the frameworks, what a community update would look like, and how to use OOB (and DIDDoc?) to express what is supported by the sending agent.
    - Really hope to see Tomislav Markovski Andrew Whitehead Timo Glastra at the meeting to assess the impact on the three major open source Aries implementations.

Next Week

RFCs for Indy AnonCred attachments, JSON-LD attachments (at least) and perhaps BBS+ attachments.
