Global Synchronization Log, a blockchain component that can serve as a common foundation for distinct Distributed Ledger implementations in wholesale regulated financial markets.
Discussion recording
Discussion on exit criteria from incubation
CF: Want to make sure that we are all still aligned here -- the Fabric team is looking to march towards a v1 at the end of Q1 early next year, and wanting to exit from incubation.
Brian B: Suggest that the TSC and technical community do one final review and make any pertinent updates before the November 10th TSC meeting (i.e. a few dated things like Github repos). On the November 10th TSC call, come to agreement on the exit criteria and then start tracking progress on those in wiki with a checklist for each project in incubation.
China Technical WG
Brian B: There seemed to be strong support for a China Technical WG. This is not meant to have voting and a formal body of 11 like the global TSC, but this would name a few people to be links between the global TSC, and the technical WG in China. I need to pull together a formal proposal with a few co-chairs and share to the TSC list. The China Technical WG is accountable to TSC
FYI -- January 7th & 8th, Hackathon in China is underway, details coming soon.
Actions/On-going
ACTION: TSC and technical community to review Project Incubation Exit Criteria and make any pertinent updates to be able to come to consensus on November 10th TSC meeting.
ACTION: Brian to send a more formal proposal for China Technical WG to TSC list
