Joe Andrieu: We'll put you on the queue soon, Claire.
Andrew Jones: @Dlonely thanks
Andrew Jones: @Dlongley thanks
Topic: Announcements and Reminders
Joe Andrieu: Announcements/reminders - Kim, mind giving us an
update?
Manu Sporny: There's an IEEE spectrum special issue, deadline 3
days ago, submission deadline is over, there will be peer review
from now until December, and hopefully then a lot of great
articles about the work we're doing here will be published, it's
a big deal, big issue -- dealing with work here and at DIF and
IIW, etc. [scribe assist by Dave Longley]
Dave Longley: S/and IIW and Rebooting, etc./
Christopher Allen: I was going to ask Kim to talk about the BTCR
hackathon in the announcements... we have a Hackathon Aug 5-9.
Christopher Allen: Found the url:
https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/btcr-hackathon-2019
Manu Sporny: We want to help, let us know how we can help.
Joe Andrieu: Dedicated DID calls on Thursday... that's still
going on, we skipped last week because of July 4th...
Drummond Reed: Assuming we can finish the DID Charter discussion
today, they'll pick back up on Thursday.
Joe Andrieu:
https://www.meetup.com/Vienna-Digital-Identity-Meetup/events/262359964/
Joe Andrieu: Vienna Digital Identity meet up - before RWoT in
Prague...
Drummond Reed: Thursday DID call details:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qYBaXQMUoB86Alquu7WBtWOxsS8SMhp1fioYKEGCabE/edit?usp=sharing
Joe Andrieu: Would be great if you guys could join us there...
Joe Andrieu: http://rwot9.eventbrite.com
Joe Andrieu: Then it's RWoT9
Joe Andrieu: Sep 3-6th... then Sep 7-8th for ActivityPub folks.
Manu Sporny: That community has pulled in some things we've done
before and we'd like to have further alignment, if you care about
messaging on the Web and making it secure and SS and all that
stuff good community to join. [scribe assist by Dave Longley]
Dave Longley: S/SS/self-sovereign/
Joe Andrieu: W3C TPAC is happening, DID WG already has a slot,
that's in Fukuoka Japan... September is crazy, you'll be able to
get frequent flyer miles!
Joe Andrieu: Then MyData in Helsinki...
Joe Andrieu: Do we have things to do on the Action Items?
Joe Andrieu:
https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22action%3A+review+next%22
Joe Andrieu: Both opened by Kim, are you the best person to
review those?
Bill Barnhill: I can give a little update, I'm ok with closing
original issue, we seem to be proceeding with Bikeshed. I can
process Bikeshed in AWS, looking at it, though, there is a Travis
CI approach -- better approach, have a document on how to install
bikeshed on AWS/Ubuntu... additional tool, w??? HTML to PDF, give
a PDF version of spec w/ PDF style bookmarks. Hoping to have a
demo in short order.
Joe Andrieu: I did see the request to get TravisCI approved...
Kim approved it.
Bill Barnhill: I'll be working on the TravisCI version tonight.
Joe Andrieu: The other issue is JWK cryptosuite specs... these
are from last week... sounds like we didn't review, just skip.
Drummond Reed: Thanks Joe
Joe Andrieu: With apologies to Claire, Drummond has to leave in
10 minutes, we'll cover Claire's stuff after that.
Joe Andrieu: Please jump onto the queue, any of the Editors of
the charter/spec... the Chairs would like to bless this and move
it to the next level, there is no requirement for a CG to be the
source of the charter, looking for guidance.
Topic: DID WG Charter Proposal
Christopher Allen: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-wg-charter/
Manu Sporny: I'm deferring to Drummond and Markus to take us
through it but from a process perspective, having a proposal and
resolution from the group is really helpful. Shows more than a
handful of people that reviewed it. [scribe assist by Dave
Longley]
Manu Sporny: Tony just raised a bunch of issues last night, we
don't have to process those but it's good form. [scribe assist by
Dave Longley]
Manu Sporny: We want the group to say we should progress the
charter to the next stage, modulo any editorial changes and that
we are ready for W3M to put it to a vote at this point. [scribe
assist by Dave Longley]
Drummond Reed: Looks l ike Tony has added 7 issues over the last
24 hours...
Drummond Reed: I directly responded to some of them. I believe
that Tony Nadalin is not operating within the bounds of civility
and that I strongly believe... we held two calls just to process
his issues... huge thanks to Manu for coordinating
suggestions/changes, we had markus, brent, joe, lots of others
contributed.
Drummond Reed: I think we have a superb charter, we propose that
we submit this to W3C to move forward.
Drummond Reed: If we kept doing this, we're playing whack-a-mole
for a long time, so I think we're done, we have a solid charter.
Christopher Allen: As a Chair, if the Editor's feel there is
merit, let's handle them... but, Tony has never joined this
group, Microsoft isn't a member of the CCG, he's raising these
issues again at the last minute, I don't interpret any of his
suggestions as being principled objections... it feels like W3C
Process abuse.
Christopher Allen: If it came to me, I don't think we need to
respond to his concerns at this point.
Bill Barnhill: Don not minute pleas, but I’d like to note, as an
additional data point, that I perceived the same situation when
we were trying to get the Open Reputation Management Systems
(ORMS) Technical Committee going on OASIS in 2008. The perceived
source of the issues at that time was again Mr. Nadalin.
Dan Burnett: Any member can propose a WG... the real question is
what's going to happen once the proposal goes out. Even if Tony
Nadalin objects, it's better that that's visible and public at
this point... we will have an opportunity to respond and describe
how extensive our work has been to date to address his concerns.
Dan Burnett: At this point, there is no point trying to address
Tony's concerns by ourselves.
Heather Vescent: Good point dlongley
Drummond Reed: 2 Years is enough
Joe Andrieu: I'd like to say two things... 1) There have been
debates within the issues where Tony Nadalin, where Tony says "Do
X", and the language was already in the spec to "Do X". There is
concern that he's just rifing off concerns.
Joe Andrieu: On the other hand, Tony and others I won't name,
some of those objections have made the charter/spec better.
Drummond Reed: I do agree that some of Tony's issues have made
the charter better. But it has gone past the point of diminishing
returns.
Joe Andrieu: I have appreciated Kim, Manu, and Dan's attempts to
bring Tony into the fold, and we have gone way above and beyond
in doing that.
Dan Burnett is scribing.
Jonathan Holt: Appreciate that we are closers, but in IPFS we
have discourse process.
... for example, some issues can be closed as not relevant
Kim Hamilton Duffy: Want to close charter and move to vote. not
everything has to be decided in advance of a WG. Maybe let's
propose moving them to "after WG formed"
... If we don't believe his issues should block vote, we should
just move them
Joe Andrieu: We have tried to get Tony involved. Asked him to
join, emailed, had workshop in Seattle where Tony refused to
address issues. We have tried in multiple forums.
Jonathan Holt: Just want a place for conversations outside of
filing issues.
Joe Andrieu: CCG list would be good, but he hasn't joined
Drummond Reed: I have to leave the call now, but I want to +1 a
proposal to submit the DID WG Charter as currently drafted.
Drummond Reed: +1
Heather Vescent: Non-violent comm proposal is next. what i'm
hearing sounds like leadership problem.
... we can as a community use as opportunity to improve
leadership.
Joe Andrieu: Thanks, Drummond
... one view is that it's our fault/responsibility. Ultimate
ownership is one style, maybe not the best one, but we can use
this as an opportunity.
... in case where person is adversarial this would be good
practice for future challenges
Manu Sporny: Let's get to DID WG proposal
... proposal is in IRC
... if chairs raise proposal and it passes, then CG has agreed.
Doesn't mean no more changes will occur, since W3M has the final
say. W3C Management will have to deal with Tony's new issues if
they want to.
PROPOSAL: The W3C Credentials Community Group has reviewed the
DID WG Charter Proposal, has gathered public review and applied
changes, and suggests that W3C Management moves forward with
sending the DID WG Charter to the W3C Advisory Committee for
final approval.
Dan Burnett: +1
Dave Longley: +1
Manu Sporny: +1
Christopher Allen: +1
Ken Ebert: +1
Joe Andrieu: +1
Adrian Gropper: +1
Andrew Hughes: +1
Bill Barnhill: +1
Markus Sabadello: +1
Moses Ma: +1
Jonathan Holt: +1
Drummond Reed: +1
Dmitri Zagidulin: +1
Ted Thibodeau: +1
Kayode Ezike: +1
Joe Andrieu: Proposal passes with strong consensus
RESOLUTION: The W3C Credentials Community Group has reviewed the
DID WG Charter Proposal, has gathered public review and applied
changes, and suggests that W3C Management moves forward with
sending the DID WG Charter to the W3C Advisory Committee for
final approval.
... manu please take to W3C
Manu Sporny: When we forward proposal W3C already knows about
it. We can let them know about Tony's new issues, but they are
expecting it.
... once they make any edits, it will go out to AC. Hopefully
will be approved before TPAC.
... now is when we go around and get as many votes as we can.
Urge all member companies you know to approve.
... need a minimum of 25 votes. VCWG holds the record for most
number of positive vwotes. Let's get 50-60 for DIDs. We want to
show strong broad support.
Joe Andrieu: Two years of work starts when the group begins :)
Manu Sporny: +1 To heather. Everyone in group stands to do
better wrt communication. It is easy to misinterpret. However,
Tony has consistent behavior over 4 years across multiple groups
in multiple standards orgs .
... Tony's behavior is the worst i have ever seen anywhere
Dan Burnett: +1 From Dan Burnett
Manu Sporny: We don't know why he does it, but it is incredibly
destructive. For those seeing it for the first time, you need to
know he is not operating in good faith. Really aggressive
behavior that is antisocial.
Heather Vescent: Appreciate that background Manu, IMO the
solution is to remove him in that case.
... that said, i'm pleased that Clare is here to talk about how
this can be a safe and positive environment. It takes constant
work to make sure that we live up to that.
Heather Vescent: And that is a perspective of the leadership
model that I mentioned, that if someone is not contributing to
the forward movement of the work, then it is the leaders
responsibility to resolve it, if only by removing the impact of
that person.
Manu Sporny: Thanks for listening, heathervescent ... it's up to
all of us to determine how to interact with him appropriately.
Manu Sporny is scribing.
Topic: Non-Violent Communication
Claire Rumore: My background in NVC is from a background in
social sciences... how this relates to group cohesion. Non
Violent Communication is one methodology and it's widely known, I
am no master, but I have enough skill to make an introduction of
the methodology for the group.
Claire Rumore: If we feel like this is useful, we can bring in a
specialist. Moses raised about problematic communication that may
be happening. NVC may or may not be useful to him. If he is
resistant to being a group participant, it may not work, but you
could use NVC to heal rifts.
Claire Rumore: There are 4 tenents to NVC - Observations,
Feelings, Needs, and Requests
Claire Rumore: I put an overview of NVC in our paper...
Claire Rumore: All four of those things are important... It's
clear that Tony has Needs that he's not communicating, and we
need to understand those needs. He is clearly raising lots of
Feelings in the group... he seeks being listened to in a
particular way. When the group is put on defense, then we can't
listen, and the group isn't able to process his concerns.
Dan Burnett: Tony is a special case. We shouldn't make the NVC
conversation about him.
Claire Rumore: I'm going to do a 15 minute demonstration in
Prague, to highlight how this happens.
Claire Rumore: Tony may be a special case, that's for this group
to decide.
Claire Rumore: However, NVC can help the rest of the group that
want to b e team players...
Dan Burnett: +1 To bending over backwards to work with those who
want to contribute productively
Claire Rumore: Otherwise, this group has good cohesion...
aggression is not helpful in any group...
Joe Andrieu: Is there a link to this paper?
Moses Ma: We'll submit this to RWoT readings...
Moses Ma: Tony is an opportunity. I'm being serious.
Joe Andrieu: Dan Burnett, mentioned that let's not apply this to
Tony because he's a special case... but many of us wanted to
apply NVC to this community.
Moses Ma: Here is the NVC paper:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vcvjmrqk314ehjo/DID%20NVC%20paper%20for%20RWOT.pdf?dl=0
Joe Andrieu: I grew up with 4 siblings and fought all of the
time, it's second nature for me to be aggressive... it feels good
for me to take the gloves off... I like conflict, but it's not
always the most productive habit, and I'm very excited given the
opportunity to learn more about NVC and adopt more of it's
practices. Speaking as a CCG Chair and RWoT board member, let's
do something in Prague.
Joe Andrieu: And then let's figure out how to flow it into here.
Moses Ma: I wanted to have all of you to consider Tony as a
special opportunity... we should go talk with specialists in NVC,
invite Tony to that meeting.
Moses Ma: I don't think I asked Claire to join the list, trying
to reduce amount of work we all have to do, please forward.
Manu Sporny: The PWE is interested in NVC, and I'll try to make
that connection.
Joe Andrieu: No problem ending the call early, very happy about
the DID WG Proposal. Thank you for bringing NVC to the group and
W3C, Claire and Moses, we really appreciate it.
Moses Ma: Bye all
Christopher Allen: Ciao everybody!
