• Discussion: for those who attended, your thoughts?

• • Healthcare Use Cases (Rich)
    • Discussion: do we need a team/subgroup to develop healthcare use cases?
• • Blockchain Governance (Rich)
• • • Discussion: do we need a team/subgroup to think about the governance of healthcare blockchain technology solutions?

For healthcare use cases, it was determined that we should develop and publish healthcare use cases. Rich will help to facilitate this. Wendy suggested that her access to academic white papers will likely have use cases that we might use to get started

For the blockchain governance conversation, Ken and Steven both noted that this issue isn't necessarily scoped to the healthcare industry. Good discussion on this point. Rich took the action to contact Hyperledger leadership to understand what group(s) are discussing this topic, and how to collaborate
