Welcome / Introductions

- There had been a number of BCovrin (dev, test, greenlight, etc.) Indy ledgers, all now point to BCovrin Test (e.g. genesis files all point to the same ledger).

Discussion Topics
- Aries RFC MkDocs Demo and Feedback - Stephen
- VCX Update - Patrik Stas
- Rust implementation of Aries/DIDComm
- Absa leaving the SSI space - will impact VCX development.
- contact on Hyperledger discord: patrikstas
- More discussion next week on the agenda (5+ min)
- DIDComm v2 conversion
- (Notes from previous weeks)
- Smaller changes may mean faster adoption
- negotiation pulled out into a sibling protocol - (nobody using negotation? Subhasis referenced use.)
- propose message moves to different family.
- Document the short-circuted use of the protocol that starts at issuance directly, depending on needs of credential type.
- we need to be careful not to match protocol to UX human steps on a 1 to 1 basis
- abandoned state - if a user declines to present, what should happen between the holder and verifier?
- problem report sent (or no message, see below) on decline - should be documented
- explicit 'no' messages instead of a problem report when it's an explicit no, instead of an error.
- document use of timeout for offers (didcomm v2 friendly, perhaps a field within the protocol.Credential Protocols for DIDComm v2
- Any Volunteers?
- (Notes from previous weeks)
- Basis for common identifiers
- Long time since discussion
- Governance has come a long way: https://github.com/decentralized-identity/credential-trust-establishment
- 530 - human readable verifiable identifier
- 535 - email access governance framework
- building blocks
- did that represents a web resource such as a document.

Other Business
Future Topics
- Niels Klomp offered a deeper dive into the openid4vc related flows
- decorator for redirection after proofs. - existing?
- in the Aug 9 call there was talk about EUDI compatibility. Maybe tracking the progress every now and then in these calls? Has there been any discussion about adding SD-JWT and OID4VC stuff to Aries Interop test suite?
