10mAcademic Research Paper: Operation name and formalization of trusted third party

TODO: define ideal system (Magical) Trusted Third Party

Roman and Stefan suggested to consider renaming STORE to COMMIT to better circumvent misunderstandings, as in some blockchains one needs to wait a few confirmation blocks till one can be sure that it has been stored.

The group agreed that it makes sense to rename STORE to COMMIT.


 5mMaintainers' Meeting time

The group agreed to move for the maintainers' meeting to a different time as a one-off for the upcoming maintainers' meeting on the 23rd of March 2021 (UTC)
