        Good news! The second Public Review Draft is nearly ready. Please review it at <URL to come>
        2 PRs checked in (Drummond and Wenjing); draft is online
        Trust Registry TF
        This TF has moved back to bi-weekly meetings due to the growing interest in implementing TRQP.
        Antti - growing interest; backlog is being hashed-out
        Trust Spanning Protocol TF
        Two revisions to the specification were proposed at last week's meeting. One will enable different VID types without requiring ToIP to maintain a VID type registry. This was agreed in the meeting. The second was a shift in how TSP messages are typed in CESR in order to make them more efficient to process. This one is currently being evaluated by Wenjing Chu and his team.
        Wenjing - (1) enable different VID types, (2) more efficient process to define message type
        ACDC TF
        This TF is to be moved to the new KERI Suite Working Group
        Sam - (1) move to new WG, (2) ISO finalization
