> Manu Sporny:  For those of you that hadn't heard about it this is
>   basically a way of selectively disclosing something in a
>   verifiable credential so think if a student has a student ID and
>   it's got a lot of their information in it as a verifiable
>   credential this selective disclosure mechanism would allow them
>   to just disclose like the university that they attend without
>   losing any of the other information last name first.
> Manu Sporny:   First name.
> Manu Sporny:  Or so without disclosing their personally
>   identifiable information we are getting ready to raise a set of
>   pull requests in the verifiable credential working group and we

> Manu Sporny:  That we would like folks to add their names to if
>   they have selective disclosure use cases and they want to see
>   this thing exists as a global standard there's a sheet for that
>   here so I'll not in here in the chat Channel that's there so if

> Manu Sporny:   With verifiable credentials.
> Manu Sporny:  I would appreciate you putting your name down on
>   that sheet so that we can demonstrate that there's interest so
>   that we can push that forward on the global standard stage that's

> Kerri Lemoie:  That's awesome thank you money Korea you and next

> <julie_keane> When will the bot transcribe baby talk.  It would

> Kerri Lemoie: https://internetidentityworkshop.com/
> Kaliya Young:  Share that the internet and workshop number I

> <kaliya_identitywoman> Thanks
> Kerri Lemoie:  You're breaking up a little bit but I put the link

> Kerri Lemoie:  I have a floor.
> <kerri_lemoie> Great!
> Nate_Otto_(he/him): Okay thanks Carrie surges also here we have
>   an exciting announcement for this morning which is that our beta
>   sign up has opened today for Orca the open recognition Community
>   app this is intended to be open source but we're planning for an
>   open source release around December this year with some early
>   partner access new open badges 3.0 verifiable credentials
>   platform also supporting open badge.
> Nate_Otto_(he/him):  has 2.0 the focus is on.
> Nate_Otto_(he/him): Practice who want to do bad weather including
>   the badges at the same time that they're producing them reducing
>   the distance between when that credential is awarded and when
>   it's when it's consumed as much as possible so new beta signups
>   are open today it's a waitlist and so we will gradually invite
>   new communities in as we have capacity for them and in addition
>   that little bit of a user's group where people can discuss and
>   talk about how to use.
> Nate_Otto_(he/him):  badges for open recognition so I'll put a

> Topic: Main Topic - Open Recognition with Julie Keane from Participate.com

>
> Kerri Lemoie:  Asking me that's really great good good timing
>   here because it's called okay it looks like the queue is empty so
>   why do we go ahead and move to the next topic which is about open
>   recognition so I would like to introduce Julie Keen from
>   participate.com to kick us off and on will have some slides for
>   us and we just discussion do it also.
> Julie_Keane: Yeah all right well we've been teed up very well by
>   Adam and also Nate and there's lots of open recognition folks
>   here Serge and made and Simona and Carrie and Cheryl and Doug and
>   Anna so lots of folks have been working in this space so Don and
>   I are really just representing we have a couple of groups that
>   will lots of community calls that go on monthly so we'll talk
>   about that at the end but I'm just going to not waste any time.
> Julie_Keane:  time and let's dive into open recognition.
> Julie_Keane: Don take it away.
> Don_Presant: Great thanks Julie can everybody hear me okay.
> Don_Presant: Great so yeah don't Present part of the open
>   recognition workgroup we're one of the active communities of
>   practice connected with the open skills Network I see in the list
>   of participants on supported today by several co-conspirators and
>   I'm sure I'll be reaching out to several of them that said this
>   is a fairly technical group were speaking to you today this is a
>   fairly non-technical talk we're just basically talking about
>   principles and values that we think.
> Don_Presant:  are important and should be thought about When
>   developing these.
> Kerri Lemoie: +1 To principles & values related to this tech
> Don_Presant: So I thought I'd start somewhat controversially to
>   say you know my credentials and other verifiable credentials
>   feeding it to skills based hiring sounds pretty good until you
>   start to think about it a bit I like to call this Frank and skill
>   Stein or maybe that's team for employers where the ideas that
>   they can simply specify some kind of a unicorn and lo and behold
>   there it is sort of assembled on the fly as it were and there
>   seems to be a under.
> Don_Presant:  lying in some.
> Don_Presant: Part of many that were just the sum of our skills
>   and we in our community think that people are more than that I
>   found this report from last September pretty useful but it really
>   it's still thinking about that idea of the hungry mouths the idea
>   that it's just about skills it's just about hiring key
>   stakeholders being employers institutions and government and
>   really there's no.
> Don_Presant:  there's no learner voice.
> Don_Presant: In this document and in a lot of the discussions and
>   also this notion about communities that Nate which is talking
>   about and hope we get a chance to explore more in the
>   question-and-answer later on a lot of this began before micro
>   credentials it began with a very expansive notion of connected
>   learning in other words learning that's connected to things that
>   you care about starting with your passions and seeing where they
>   take.
> Don_Presant:  you a more can I say.
> Don_Presant: Laura Tori Journey based kind of a vision and notice
>   though none left that there's online learning but there's also
>   things like volunteer programs that could also be things like
>   makerspaces and out-of-school activities Kerry has some great
>   experience with that with a cheery so and then then you notice on
>   the right job opportunities it's only one of the doors that can
>   open to you so the vision wasn't only about life long learning it
>   was about life wide learning very much rooted in the community
>   and I'm sure some people.
> Don_Presant:  remember she called the city of learning Pittsburgh
>   city of learning at the Sprout found at cetera.
> Don_Presant: It a lot.
> Don_Presant: Colleges and universities universities didn't really
>   know what to do with this concept it was meant Wild West they're
>   worried about who was issuing the badges whether too many were
>   being issued lack of assessment lack of quality standards but I
>   think a lot of people also saw an opportunity to break some of
>   the big degrees or macro credentials down into modular stackable
>   chunks in there was a sort of parallel notion of stacking of
>   programs that ended up being conflated with it so we started to
>   hear.
> Don_Presant:  during about the term micro credential Run 2014
>   2015 defined by you.
> Don_Presant: Going many others.
> Don_Presant: It really comes down to a lot of course certificates
>   fairly institution Centric very much with a fairly top-down
>   framing of recognition which we feel has a tendency to pull the
>   original Vision out of shape.
> Don_Presant: So recognition I think is key word and it's got a
>   wide scope outside of formal recognition the professions hiring
>   practices because there's a notion of self recognition and even
>   self-assertion and that can be self-actualization but it can also
>   progress to you making a claim about yourself that's verifiable
>   perhaps you think you might do in a resume or cover letter in a
>   verifiable way that can be a supported by others then there's
>   social recognition the kind you get among peers and then.
> Don_Presant:  these may be built around geography may be around
>   practices interests Etc and that's kind of what Orca.
> Don_Presant: Don't make me just mentioning so my company learning
>   agents where we do Consulting and we developed a framework for
>   the inter-american development bank and this is a sort of a
>   generic version of that framework that expands in a little bit
>   and it's a the attempt is to try and Encompass this wide spectrum
>   of recognition and diversity of what people are doing so on the
>   left you have the more sort of micro-credentialing.
> Don_Presant:  tough and most of it is the assessment certificate.
> <kerri_lemoie> Link to slides:

> Don_Presant: Certifications in other words you're qualified for
>   roll over on the right it's more about you know did you complete
>   of course did you participate in an activity in the middle maybe
>   you're assembling a body of evidence that can may or may not be
>   evaluated by others but way over on the right that's where I
>   think the magic happens and that's why we're here today sings
>   Awards achievements that P reassuring that self issuing ad hoc
>   and and more emergent so it's more appreciative.
> Don_Presant:  on the right more summative and authenticate.
> <doug_belshaw> /waves
> Don_Presant: On the left so Doug belches pulled this together
>   that we are open Co-op I think Doug's on the call today so this
>   is a comparison about how open recognition might compare to my
>   credentials I'm not going to read it all but just sort of have a
>   look and you sort of had this idea on the one side it's very much
>   what's a word a repackaging of certifications certificates.
> Don_Presant:  Etc over on the right it's more of.
> Don_Presant: Sort of an expansive notion and we think there's
>   room for both it's a big tent but we do find that sometimes
>   there's not enough oxygen for conversations about what should be
>   happening on the right and there's huge value they're both for
>   the individuals and even for others in less formal approaches to
>   to recognition so here are some examples that have been explored
>   over the past number of years where it could.
> Don_Presant:  be a selfish.
> Don_Presant: I did a hard thing and some scaffolding they're
>   saying why was it hard what did you do why is that significant or
>   it could be I just learned something today or somebody saying
>   that you're a good person to work with and if you have enough of
>   those maybe that starts having some cash a so or I have a hidden
>   talent so in other words I didn't take a course to do this I
>   actually know something already that people don't know about me
>   and I'm asserting that here and then over on the right we have
>   some interesting ones pick up the reins or.
> Don_Presant:  her in planning.
> <deb_everhart_(credential_engine)> I love the way this comparison
>   draws on discussions we had even in the earliest open badge work
>   groups about individuals issuing badges
> Don_Presant: And I'd like to now introduce Anna heyliger who's
>   the author of these badges for million in turn now on the staff
>   at we are open Co-op to tell her story Anna are you there.
> Don_Presant: This picture of you.
> <kerri_lemoie> Thanks, Anna!
> <doug_belshaw> (based on original work by ORA / Serge)
> Don_Presant: So I think that's a that's a great segue to this
>   definition that Doug Bell shall pull together that which works
>   for a lot of us and it's just the idea that what we know what we
>   can do who were about really goes beyond credentialing and
>   includes recognizing individuals and communities and where those
>   communities are and and and their right to apply their own
>   definitions and their own.
> Don_Presant:  own labels to what they know and can do.
> Don_Presant: And those can be rising up or implicit or they can
>   move their way to be explicit but the point is that they're very
>   much rooted in the context and the actual people people involved
>   Doug you may want to add to this.
> Don_Presant: If you're there.
> <doug_belshaw> Sorry Jitsi wouldn't let me unmute
> Don_Presant: No worries I'll just keep moving so I think just to
>   bring things back to this audience it's useful to start talking
>   about ways of extracting value or leveraging this combination of
>   data that can be structured and unstructured and about people and
>   by people so we have for example.
> Don_Presant: Bottom left we have credential engine doing great
>   work with other organizations such as HR open to develop very
>   structured approaches to recognition of credentials hiring
>   processes so HR open for example is my understanding is that
>   there was a way of making a it's a essentially a self assertion
>   that can be endorsed by others by Third parties so that's a it's
>   a parallel to what what is.
> Don_Presant:  being developed and.
> Don_Presant: Example and we also have very unstructured stories
>   on the other hand that are stories in and among themselves so in
>   other words a badge that somebody might have that Anna was
>   talking about it but learning Finnish or existing in a totally
>   different environment for a while so Julie this might be a good
>   time to talk about experience you as yeah.
> Julie_Keane: Yeah yeah happy to so experience you and many people
>   on the call may be familiar with this project it's another
>   Walmart funded initiative it's being co-organized by education
>   development Design Lab so long as also helping along with others
>   to basically think about how you use AI to you to turn
>   unstructured data into structured.
> Julie_Keane:  de and then lay those on to.
> Julie_Keane: Digital and verifiable credentials we are I have a
>   couple of colleagues here on this call that are working with a
>   group called work Bay which focuses on incarcerated folks and
>   they are sort of telling stories it's very difficult to have
>   people sort of self a test particularly when they are in
>   vulnerable and marginalized populations so the idea is to elicit
>   sort of stories using transcripts and then structuring laying
>   that on to more structured.
> Julie_Keane:  economies at the.
> Julie_Keane: Within the earners control about what gets laid onto
>   it economy and then those are turned into digital credentials so
>   there is a T3 meeting next week many folks on this call will be
>   there and we will be presenting this project along I believed
>   along with 15 other projects that are also using AI to turn
>   unstructured data into structured data.
> Julie_Keane: Yeah so follow that yeah.
> Don_Presant: So so basically we're saying there should be a
>   balance I mentioned the big tent and we think there should be a
>   way for people to invent themselves and to continue to invent
>   themselves in ways that make sense for their lives and their
>   careers that's this notion of a key guy and or this is the less
>   preferred option the idea that people can be assembled according
>   to skills and put to work.
> Don_Presant:  work in.
> Don_Presant: So along those lines sarrish is with us today sir
>   well Sarah Jean Nate we co-authored something called the bolonia
>   open recognition declaration in the car on the way to an epic
>   conference in Bologna which Simoni was very very kind to invite
>   us to and it was sort of a cheeky reference to the bolonia
>   framework that for academic Co recognition we thought it should
>   go beyond.
> Don_Presant:  and academic recognition.
> Don_Presant: These are the principles in other words we think
>   open recognitions for everybody not only to be recognized but to
>   recognize others we think the technology should be able to
>   support that and we think policies and even funding that follows
>   policies should support that as well and it shouldn't just be
>   about repackaging courses as digital credentials so we encourage
>   you to sign read and sign the open wrecking recognition
>   declaration there's actually a badge you can have.
> Don_Presant:  have to.
> Don_Presant: Or your values and put put put those values out
>   there help build our open recognition Community but further back
>   here in North America be open open recognition work group has
>   developed these more specific I guess recommendations principles
>   to bear in mind as we're developing verifiable credentials open
>   badges version 3 and just some things to think about the.
> Don_Presant:  idea of naming your.
> <julie_keane> They have  not been formally adopted  by OSN - but
>   we are working on it
> Don_Presant: Skills and pot perhaps mapping those later the idea
>   that skills are Dynamic very contextual there's no one framework
>   to rule them all and a commitment to developing tools and
>   networks and ecosystem that's not just top down that can be
>   bought them up and even bridging out peer-to-peer sort of a more
>   mesh mesh Network and the Partnerships that will support that.
> Don_Presant: To conclude these are some of the events across the
>   top that are going to be exploring this we have an open
>   recognition thread at the badge Summit coming up in a few weeks
>   and I'll be delivering a virtual webinar about open recognition
>   before that that will be recorded and then that epic 2020 37
>   years after the bolonia open recognition decoration we're still
>   at it albeit in Vienna and some very interesting people.
> Don_Presant:  people there including from the South Africa
>   qualifications Authority.
> Don_Presant: Ready former CEO will be there and a number of
>   others including Carrie who actually submitted a proposal just
>   last week so we encourage you to submit proposals for that the
>   deadline is just gone but also we will be accepting further later
>   and then obviously you'd be on a very welcome as participants
>   it's really it's a thought leadership conference it's not about
>   presentations as it is so much about dialogue in the meantime we
>   also have the keep badges.
> Don_Presant:  weird Community which is now re re.
> Don_Presant: And it is.
> Don_Presant: Recognition is for everyone and then the the
>   community open skills network.org so I think we can go to slide
>   question and answer.
> Don_Presant: Oh sure good idea.
> Kerri Lemoie:  It is great everybody before we get a big dog do
>   you mind keeping that slide up to one with the community I like
>   it share the windows of slides are in the chat but where those
>   links are legit I mean I really encourage all of you to really
>   look into all of these different conversations because of the
>   great community of people who have been working together I mean
>   really since I was a 2011. A very very beginning of the badges.
> Kerri Lemoie:   I have been having these conversations and it

Could I request that we avoid using the term "Web3" in this W3C Group

In support of this request, I would like to highlight recent comments made
by Tim Berners-Lee and Roy Fielding regarding the term "Web3." Tim
(according to CNBC), expressed his view that we should "ignore the Web3
stuff" and stated that "Web3 is not the web at all." [1]

Similarly, Roy Fielding characterized Web3 as a scam, emphasizing the
importance of not giving it any form of respectability. [2].

Highly respected former TAG member Alex Russell:

"A few months ago I tried to get current and past members of the @w3ctag to
sign onto a statement that, in effect, read "'web3' isn't the web; please
kindly stop web-washing". [3]
