Thank you for chiming in, Calvin -- I was hoping you'd respond; your
response is clear and makes sense to me.

Also, a big +1 to everyone else that has chimed in... as each of you
can tell, we have some work to do here because there is a clear use
case that needs to be addressed and many of you have done deep work in
the space.

Leonard, Daniel, and Christopher have raised good questions around
terminology and naming that we'll have to struggle through over the
coming months/years. A clear answer isn't apparent just yet.

So, I'm just going to focus on the technical stuff for now, and this
is the stuff that I don't know and would like to understand more
deeply:

* We have multiple approaches that all, more or less, achieve results
in the same general area (but the nuances matter a lot here for the
trade use case).

* It feels like, with some adjustment, that we might have the
primitives we need in the selective disclosure tech stack, but I'm not
sure of that. Dave Longley and Greg Bernstein might have to speak up
on that front. For example, what is preventing us from doing selective
redaction with the ecdsa-sd cryptosuite?

* What are the key learnings that led the IMDA TradeTrust and
OpenAttestation teams to create their cryptography suite in the way
that they did? What was missing? What was the key technical feature
(or features) that you needed that no other cryptosuite provided?

Finally, a thank you for each of you participating -- this is an
exciting technical area that is being driven by a concrete business
need. If we play our cards right, we'll be able to have a solution on
the global standards track in the next rechartering of the VCWG.
