4. Project review

   1. Vipin presented taxonomy of types of securities drawn using gliffy. Challenges of the tool (including inserting links and popups)

   2. As first cut it seems very good (@Bobbi Muscara )

   3. Second aspect of taxonomy is lifecycle, an example through the use of a diagram from a Oliver Wyman & Euroclear document was presented, seen in the Taxonomy website, @Natalia Garciagonzalezreminded us that the origination part was missing. Another aspect was the fact of multiple ledgers, we got into a debate about virtual ledgers versus multiple networks for different products and hence interoperability. Instead of following standards there, companies may be developing their own standards (like clearmatics for stablecoin approaches)- @Manivannan Pillai.

   4. @stanislav.liberman  said that use cases could also have a taxonomy and he will start on something soon.
