<phil_l_(p1)> This is the last meeting of the year, resuming Jan. 3.
<phil_l_(p1)> Simone audio check?
<colin_reynolds,_learning_economy> So strange I had to switch browsers for my audio to work as well
<colin_reynolds,_learning_economy> 😞
<phil_l_(p1)> Update to Chrome broke Jitzi audio and switching to Firefox gets around the problem.
Topic: Simone Ravaioli - Canada & Europe Standardization Updates
<phil_l_(p1)> Simone - sharing with possible actionable items for next year. Two significant workstreams in the Stds. world re: VCs happening outside the US
<phil_l_(p1)> CIO strategy council in Canada working on VCs
<timothy_summers> Keep getting kicked out, wondering if I'll need to switch browsers as well.
<phil_l_(p1)> Draft specification will be shared in the minutes. It is a sister initiative - may be people in the call participating on the discussions about the Canadian standard.
<phil_l_(p1)> We should stay aligned with the Canadian workstream.
<phil_l_(p1)> The other initiative is restarting in the EU, Another group CEN, is also working in this space.
<phil_l_(p1)> The group is getting restarted after initial works several years ago. Now working on a business plan and new scope of work. We should have a liaison with these two efforts.
<phil_l_(p1)> Kerri - proud of the work this group has done built on the foundational work by Kim Hamilton Duffy, and of the LER work that opened options toward VC directions.
<phil_l_(p1)> Now started work on both single assertion credentials with OBv3 and more complex credentials with CLRv2. Should have some candidacy for a new standard in late first quarter or second quarter of 2022.
<phil_l_(p1)> Have gone through a lot of use cases and now should be a focus of coming work in the new year.
<phil_l_(p1)> We have two new co-chairs in Simone and Dmitri
<phil_l_(p1)> If you have thoughts for what you think VC-EDU should work on in the new year, or create issues in the Repo directly. The Repo is in the chat.
Kerri Lemoie: Phil_L_(P1): gates funding for focus on single assertion endorsement credentials to be worked on: establish a collective to work on this amongst all groups. ✪
<timothy_summers> The Pocket team is interested in being in the loop, we've made lots of progress in the area of endorsement credentials.
<phil_l_(p1)> Thank you Dmitri!
<phil_l_(p1)> Open Recognition Alliance and the Open Recognition group at the Open Skills Network has contributions to make in this endorsement skills VC design process
<phil_l_(p1)> Highland has released Blockcerts_v3 - anyone in the community has some understanding on how the blockcerts community is doing, keeping track of their work etc.
<phil_l_(p1)> If so please share info. Kerri has reached out to them to join us Jan. 3rd (that is the Blockcerts group).
<phil_l_(p1)> Dmitri is interested in making sure that there is sharing and cross-pollination of this space in 2022.
<phil_l_(p1)> Kerri's prediction is some draft model docs for new VCs will be out in mid-to-late VCs.
