  threat model of DIDs, requesting clarity on correlation [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen: +1
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Have been lingering for a while... if no 
  progress soon: propose to turn them into DID spec issues so they 
  can be addressed in the DID WG [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Christopher Allen: Maybe use new GitHub move issue feature.
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  I.e. close them in a week or so [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Kim Hamilton Duffy: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-wg-charter/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22

Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Closed about half of the issues (many 
  editorial), still some remaining [scribe assist by Markus

Kim Hamilton Duffy: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/blob/master/work_items.md
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  This is our list of work items [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Both ongoing and completed ones. [scribe

  list [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/45

Topic: Work item repair

Joe Andrieu:  We identified 5 work items in that issue, what's 
  the current status? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  These work items were approved in previous 
  meetings, but we don't have solid progress or editors or idea 
  where things are going [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  We'd like to get an idea if we continue to 
  put time into these [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Kim Hamilton Duffy: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/blob/master/work_items.md
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/blob/master/work_items.md 
  may be a better resource right now than 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/45 [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Let's go over those 5 issues, have been in 
  unchanged state for 6 months [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Item 1: DID Engagement spreadsheet, there should be 
  a Google doc, not sure where [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu: Ah... there is a URL. the first link in the table. 
  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZDHH1p4EBjxVqQJyO07gWOowhrsW2hrkRH2kgNzt0y0/edit#gid=1477995692
Christopher Allen:  Suggest we try to find a new editor for this 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Idea of this work: Who and where and how do 
  various parties use DIDs? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Get an inventory of things; if we can't find 
  an editor, we should close [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Will reach out to see if someone is interested to 
  move this along. [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Volunteers? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Item 2: Digital Verification Specifications [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  This is a separate task force, haven't done a 
  great job keeping track of status [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Perhaps we should move this and list it as a 
  "Draft Note", or other work item path, and officially list it 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Has reached some level of completion, may be 
  close to final [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/credential-handler-api/
Joe Andrieu: 
  https://github.com/digitalbazaar/credential-handler-polyfill
Christopher Allen:  Item 3: Credential Handler API and Polyfill 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  This was developed by dlongley et al. at Digital 
  Bazaar [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Will reach out via email to check on status [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Heather Vescent: Dave Longley is joining momentarily
Christopher Allen:  I know some people are working on updating 
  RSA and secp256k1 digital verification specs [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Markus Sabadello: Are we talking about this? 
  https://w3c-ccg.github.io/ld-cryptosuite-registry/
Christopher Allen:  There's been some work on reconciling names 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Where are the specs for these? [scribe assist 
  by Markus Sabadello]
Markus Sabadello:  We've known for a while this needs work. 
  [scribe assist by Joe Andrieu]
Joe Andrieu: ... We've done an update recently where we introduce 
  ecda secp2561, but still need the specification written
Joe Andrieu: ... The implementations here are various.
Joe Andrieu: ... Agree with Christopher that how it works right 
  now, process-wise needs work
Markus Sabadello: Recently we just added 
  "EcdsaSecp256k1Signature2019" (with no complete spec), simply to 
  get alignment on Bitcoin-based and Ethereum-based DID methods
Joe Andrieu:  Where are we with Credential Handler API? [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Spec is under CCG right now, right? People are 
  implementing against the spec. But the spec needs to be updated 
  and re-published. [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Are planning to put more effort into updating this 
  over the summer. [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Is the polyfill also under CCG or under Digital 
  Bazaar? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Digital Bazaar, since that's an implementation 
  (open source) [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  This is a spec, but is it planning for a 
  concrete WG to take this on? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Not at the moment, way forward would be for more 
  implementations to happen against that spec, to build up 
  ecosystem around it [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Then in the future it would go into WG for 
  browsers to implement. [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Could it be on a "Commentary" track right 
  now? so it can be listed as a Community Report? [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Longer term, where would it go? [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Long term: Move it into WG (similar to what Web 
  Payments did: first CG, then WG, then implemented in browsers) 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Sounds like "specification" track, not "commentary" 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Right [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  How does this interface with other related efforts, 
  e.g. the various flavors of DID Auth that are happening [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  This API can be used to do DID Auth [scribe assist 
  by Markus Sabadello]
Dave Longley:  Some politics around when is the right time.. Need 
  broader support by people who implement. Want to make sure it 
  remains generic and open [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Perhaps we should include another editor 
  added, from another community that supports this work [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Should add it into CCG Github, then publish 
  it as a draft report, with versioning [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Dave Longley: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/credential-handler-api/
Dave Longley:  It's in Respec format and published in CCG [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Markus Sabadello: ( JoeAndrieu  lost audio... )
Christopher Allen:  Before major next revision, can an editor be 
  added [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu: Shoot. I'll call back in
Dave Longley:  Propose by the end of the summer to find editor 
  and publish next version [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Continue with work items 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/45 [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Item 5: Engagement Model [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  This document is mostly written as RWoT paper, but 
  needs to be converted to Respec format [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Any volunteers to help with Respec format? Then we 
  can publish it as a Note. [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  BillB has taken action item to look into 
  automatical spec text conversion tools. [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Hope we can batch-convert documents (try 
  with a few test cases) [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  If anyone wants to help with spec text, that 
  would be great [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Markus Sabadello: Ajones_DB: Regarding Respec, we have templates 
  we have been using internally
Markus Sabadello: Ajones_DB: Programmatically generate results of 
  test frameworks
Heather Vescent: Rock on Andrew!
Markus Sabadello: Ajones_DB: Perhaps our tools have something in 
  common that we can use
Markus Sabadello: Ajones_DB: It's a Handlebars template, produces 
  Respec document from Mocha (?) test results
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Sounds good, please share [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Drummond Reed: Must leave the call early, but this is all good 
  news about ReSpec tools.
https://github.com/w3c-dvcg/http-signatures-test-suite/tree/add-template-reporter/implementations
This code is a little out of date
But basically a custom mocha reporter outputs a json file which 
  is then used by handlebars.js
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Let's sync up with ajones_DB and BillB to 
  see which tools we can use for Respec conversion [scribe assist 
  by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Let's look at proposed new work items [scribe 
  assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/labels/proposed%20work%20items
Kim Hamilton Duffy: Here is the issue tracking the conversion 
  tool: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/76
Kim Hamilton Duffy: It links to the conversion tool
Joe Andrieu:  4 Work items which have been proposed but not yet 
  accepted [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Let's talk about #71 OpenPgpSignature2019 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  This is another proposed new cryptographic 
  suite [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Ted Thibodeau: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/71
Joe Andrieu:  This was proposed before we had simplified work 
  items [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  @OR13 hasn't found a 2nd editor; this could be an 
  "informal" work item, we don't need to officially approve it 
  [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  We should support it and accept as an "informal 
  work item". What exactly does this entail? [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Without 2nd editor, it doesn't qualify as 
  official work item. So we should close and invite to resubmit 
  when there is a 2nd editor. [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  But still, how can we support "informal" work 
  items? Perhaps give them a chance to introduce it as part of the 
  agenda of weekly CCG call? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  My advice is, once it's more mature and has a 
  2nd editor, it should be officially announced. [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  We can still list it as an adjacent resource, 
  not everything has to be an "official" work item. [scribe assist 
  by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Suggest to add it to 
  https://w3c-ccg.github.io/ld-cryptosuite-registry/ [scribe assist 
  by Markus Sabadello]
Christopher Allen:  Does anyone have proposed work items that 
  should be discussed next week? [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Jonathan Holt:  What's the process of getting something into the 
  ld-cryptosuite-registry ? [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu: 
  https://w3c-ccg.github.io/ld-cryptosuite-registry/#the-registration-process
Christopher Allen:  Every registry will have requirements for how 
  something gets into the registry [scribe assist by Markus 
  Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  The ld-cryptosuite-registry has a brief section 
  that explains this [scribe assist by Markus Sabadello]
Joe Andrieu:  Thank you all, cu next week [scribe assist by 
  Markus Sabadello]
Moses Ma: Bye everyone!
