RE: CCG Meeting Ideas

Drummond and I addressed this, in part, by making sure Things (including Abstract Things) were included in the scope of the DID V1.0 specification.

Hi Will and CCG Chairs,

One discussion I think could be very interesting for the community is a simple but important question:

How would the DID Core specification have been designed if it had emerged after the rise of LLMs, AI agents, and today’s regulatory landscape?

Would the architecture, trust assumptions, permissions, delegation models, privacy considerations, and notions of identity have evolved differently? And more broadly, do we need to rethink identity itself in a world increasingly shaped by autonomous systems and agentic interactions?

I think a discussion like this could lead to some valuable perspectives from both technical and non-technical participants.



Best regards,
Amir Hameed

I would just like to add that the new EU Cyber Resilience Act significantly erodes, cripples, the startup ecosystem and software innovation in Europe in favor of large corporations that can absorb the massive compliance burden. The ultimate outcome is very questionable, and it risks making the situation worse. It illustrates the constant direction of damaging the EU tech ecosystem from within:  GDPR, ChatControl, discussions around VPN regulation, and the CRA to seal the deal.

Best,
Filip

Hi all,
If there is any interest I am volunteering myself to talk about the new Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) EU regulation, which will affect companies wishing to make wallets (and software in general) available in the European market.

Best,
Nikos
