Manu, Just following up to say thanks for forwarding this. I haven’t had a good read through yet as I have a number of tight deadlines in the next week or so, but will take time to study it carefully after that. It looks like an excellent resource, though! One thing I am wondering just off the top is whether it might be possible to integrate an assessment of record keeping requirements for guaranteeing long-term authenticity and accessibility with the security requirements, so as I read through I will consider how this may map to some of the international record keeping standards that I mentioned at the W3C workshop in June. Thanks again for sharing this document! Best wishes, Vicki. > On Oct 7, 2016, at 5:49 PM, Manu Sporny <msporny@digitalbazaar.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > This is a follow up from the Blockchain CG face-to-face meeting at W3C > TPAC.
