Christopher Allen: Introductions Moses Ma: Mark is new Cochair of DID working group, works at evernym, in this community for several years Nat Holloway: <Audio weak> Nat Holloway: Please recap on irc if possible Nat Holloway: Linkedin public profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nat-h-6382b8157 Christopher Allen: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/announcements/ Nat Holloway: I don't have access to linkedin, can you summarize? Christopher Allen: Identiverse Christopher Allen: Four weekly recurring meetings (see announcements for details) Sorry all, seems like I'm unable to join the voip. Christopher Allen: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22action%3A+review+next%22 Mark_: try the plain old telelphone system Nat Holloway: Rgrant Research Engineer at USAA. Work in USAA Labs in identity, AI, crypto and general security. Nat Holloway: Np Manu Sporny: Jsonld1.1 has finished work on spec Manu Sporny: And other framing algorithms Moses Ma: Mark, you can call in via Skypeout, Whatsapp or some low cost app from Europe: +1.540.274.1034 x6306 Manu Sporny: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/json-ld11/ Manu Sporny: W3C member organizations are expected to vote on whether to approve the final specification. It's very important, if you're a W3C member, that you vote in favor of this technology that underlies many of the specifications created by this community group. Manu Sporny: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/jsonld-charter/ Manu Sporny: The other thing is the lsonld1.1 WG maintenance charter Nat Holloway: Thank you kimhd! Kim Hamilton Duffy: Regarding attendee list, I have the same question for nikosft -- can you point me to a profile page we can use for you (linkedin profile, twitter, or blog)? Manu Sporny: Active working groups reduces lag time in fixing specificaitons To maintain the registries Christopher Allen: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vj811aUbs8GwZUNo-LIFBHafsz4rZTSnRtPv7RQaqNc/edit#heading=h.i2v9iagxg4em Christopher Allen: There was discussion here about outlining what the two working groups did +Present Christopher Allen: <...Is looking for some link in a document> Manu Sporny: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vj811aUbs8GwZUNo-LIFBHafsz4rZTSnRtPv7RQaqNc/edit#heading=h.fe7a8nw475r Christopher Allen: Under our new charter we can define how we handle work and task items, and we need to be more clear about these processes. Christopher Allen: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/75 Manu Sporny: Regarding registries, there is some overlap with Dan Burnett's responsibilities. good news is that DID working group has put in a lot of work that "is converging" Manu Sporny: Some work may be reusable. there is a sane way to do this without putting an insane amount of work on the CCG Christopher Allen: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/3 Christopher Allen: We need to move this all to ReSpec, but our placeholder googledoc is linked Christopher Allen: Issue #3 is update to RSA signature suite Christopher Allen: We had a volunteer for a while but not currently. chairs have discussed this. unless there is a volunteer, we're going to close this [item from] this repo. Manu Sporny: It is going to be unavoidable that this crypto suite gets used. enterprise uses this instead of ed25519. Orie Steele: Recommend RSA folks support https://github.com/w3c-ccg/lds-jws2020 Orie Steele: And use it instead Manu Sporny: My concern is that if we archive it here no community will be working on it. candidate editors are too busy working on DID things. Manu Sporny: We won't have a spec for the things that are deployed. Manu Sporny: We're in a bad situation Christopher Allen: We recognie your hard work for this community. Christopher Allen: At this point, it's incorrect Can mark it Orie Steele: We should archive and document as we go Christopher Allen: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues/3 Moses Ma: Link for the Science article: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6492/719 Moses Ma: Coauthor for paper for Science was trying to log into call. Christopher Allen: "Blockchain-facilitated sharing to advance outbreak R&D" Christopher Allen: Now we move to item of the day: elections Moses Ma: Mark, are you on the call now? Moses Ma: Type q+ if you are Christopher Allen: Four years ago, verifiable credientials task force moved to WG, and manu asked ChristopherA tot chair and kimhd volunteered too, then less than a year later JoeAndrieu Manu Sporny: I am forever grateful to ChristopherA and kimhd and JoeAndrieu for stepping up as Chairs those many years ago. :) Mark Leuba: Yes, I'm in. Regular phone. Low battery. ...joind and there was a lot of work and updating the chair was supposed to be updated and elections and the charter needed fixing.

Topic: Science Paper Christopher Allen: Last call for questions. topic moves to Mark's paper Mark Leuba: Thanks for having me Mark Leuba: Bear with me, i'm new Mark Leuba: Invited by MosesMa and kimhd due to publication in Science Christopher Allen: Science Magazine "Blockchain-facilitated sharing to advance outbreak R&D"https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6492/719 Mark Leuba: Intro: innovation policy researcher at delft Mark Leuba: Not a computer scientists nor a developer, but picked up DIDs and translated to my field of infectious diseases Mark Leuba: Aim is to identify barriers to effective cooperation Mark Leuba: Collaborating with infectious disease control at Dutch <org> Mark Leuba: Collegue sat next to MosesMa on flight and got memed Mark Leuba: Trust issues are at the root of many problems that we see for covid, that hamper outbreak response Mark Leuba: We need lots of different actors sharing data Mark Leuba: Several barriers related to private stakes: academia wants to get publications Mark Leuba: This is disincentive to share research data. we have several incentivization problems. Mark Leuba: Dropping a link to initiate other discussion Mark Leuba: Our vision integrates <lots of stuff> Mark Leuba: We can shape a trust layer underneath existing systems Moses Ma: This proposed vision is called an ORBI - Outbreak R&D Blockchain Infrastructure Mark Leuba: These barriers are still hampering effective disease response in covid Mark Leuba: We're thinking about furhter papers and the existing work is just a high-level abstract start Mark Leuba: Thanks for having me! Kim Hamilton Duffy: Thanks Mark! Christopher Allen: Manages last comment. Adrian Gropper: How do you see reputation, bound in the academic stuff, fitting into this community? Moses Ma: Mark and I are working on a COVID project as well, called COVID Defender, contact us for more info. Mark Leuba: Reputation very interesting. it's key for academics and others. out of scope of current paper. supplementary materials discuss verifiable credentials could be used . Moses Ma: I'll ask Mark to join the discussion forum as well Mark Leuba: We'd like to explore this better in the future. the paper is already information-dense and didn't have room for these details. Moses Ma: We had to smash a 12 page paper into 3 pages... Mark Leuba: If you think about the quality, you want something like the existing reputation system in place. Orie Steele: Example: signing COVID related JSON-LD used by search engines, using Bitcoin and Ethereum curve: https://secp256k1.jsld.org/ Mark Leuba: Link to the paper: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6492/719/tab-pdf Christopher Allen: Closing the call with: wayne please join other chairs on thursday regarding process Wayne Vaughn: +1 Mark Leuba: Link to the supplements: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/suppl/2020/05/13/368.6492.719.DC1/aba1355_vanderWaal_SM.pdf Christopher Allen: Will graduate to scribe list!
