      • Ideally, incorporated into the above, but if not, a third design doc, covering the use of the event bus with the outbound queuing
      • Possible meeting ahead of next ACA-Pug meeting.
  • When is the next ACA-Py release?
    • Drivers: request for the resolver capability from BPA team, endorser signing functionality
