Hi, Manu: I believe APA would like to help with this document, though we may be severely challenged to provide comprehensive comments by 19 July inasmuch as today is 18 July! :) So, do you need whatever we can achieve by tomorrow? Or some short statement by tomorrow and more details at some future date soon? PS: For the record APA is very interested in seeing this technology succeed. In fact we'd like to discuss ideas with the Verfiable Credentials group during TPAC--but let's elaborate on that after first establishing the requirements for tomorrow!
