Re: Decentralized Identity and Product Design/UX Q&A Session, Next Wednesday at 12 PM ET

Very interested to bring Digitary <http://www.digitary.net/> into this conversation, particularly helpful in building out the global academic credential ecosystem.  

We are just starting to build the ARUCC Canadian National Network <https://www.aruccnationalnetwork.ca/> (273 Unis, 3 mills leaners) - that be a potentially impactful.

@Anil,  would love an opportunity to share more in one of yours one-on-one what our scenario might be,

Open to thoughts from CCG leadership, but if it's not overcooking the kitchen, I would be excited to join the 30 Oct. cohort meeting to better understand what might be possible among a broader network.
