Discussion Topics
DID Peer Update?
Alex added PR for Method 3: https://github.com/decentralized-identity/peer-did-method-spec/pull/49
Unqualified DID Conversion to did:peer:2
Open Wallet Foundation
The Opportunity
A potential re-homing of Aries to OWF
The Circumstances
Community needs decisions together
The Challenges
Notes on discussion and questions to be clarified
High ambition level of OWF
Goal is to create code that has relevance in code that meets regulatory requirements (e.g. as part of the EU Digital Identity Wallet)
Aries features and approaches can gain better representation in compliance and regulatory settings employing wallets (key leverage point for Aries community)
Outreach to European Commission already established at OWF
Funding
300 orgs listed in doc
https://openwallet.foundation/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/02/OpenWallet-Foundation-Overview.pdf
41 listed current sponsors
7 million draft budget?
Funding state? Will fundraising match needs?
Difficulty of orgs being members of All The Things.
Time
Money
Project Support from Hyperledger
Hyperledger social reach is larger
Training workshop organized by HyperLedger
Code and Standards being co-located in the same org is difficult
Aries implementing standards designed outside of Aries
mDL
OpenID4VerifiableCredentials
Beyond Aries?
OWF explicitly does not want to create standards, OWF core is creating code to implement standards
Perception of the scope of Aries? What Aries does/is:
RfCs
Code matching RfCs
Interop Profiles
ToDo: More clearly communicate what Aries does, also towards OWF
Other Business
Future Topics
