Joe Andrieu: Yes. we are in the middle of figuring out how we want registries to be handled in general

... will be sending call out for potential topics
Dan Burnett: Rough agenda in mind but please let us know if you have something you want for us to consider adding to the agenda
... contact either one of us
Joe Andrieu: Has a question for the new chairs
... what do we need to do to transition the new use case docs
Dan Burnett: Nothing that will guarantee that, although the more something looks like a work product the better.
... what's going to happen in the DID wg will consist of many people
... some people who were in the VC wg and some who are not
... the wg will decide what its use cases are
... the expecation that the chairs have during the meeting is that someone will lead it and ask for sources of use cases and requirements
... for example use cases that came from the ccg
... if there is agreement and those use cases should go in or should be a starting point
... then make a copy of it and begin working there
... being prepared to poiint out the value of it is where we want to go
Joe Andrieu: Current draft as intput?
Dan Burnett: Correct
Drummond Reed: I am planning on attending.
Brent Zundel: It would be good to know who on the call is attending
