> 
> Topic: Call Notes
> 
> Kerri Lemoie:  So I'm video now that we can make available to you 
>  if you need it so everything is archived everything is 
>  transcribed by our robot transcriber and also recorded So that 
>  others can follow along with what we're doing they can't make it 
>  on this call or so that you can look it up in the future and in 
>  reference this if you need to.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Next introduction so actually before I move on to 
>  number 3 one thing to note is that we follow a queue system on 
>  these calls so if you would like to ask a question or have 
>  something to say just type Q Plus like so in the chat to add 
>  yourself to the queue and to remove yourself from the queue keep 
>  - and during the calls we keep an eye on the Queue and try to 
>  call folks either in an order or according to you know the topic 
>  that were discussing.
> Kerri Lemoie:   Next is introductions and reintroductions is 
>  there.
> 
> Topic: Introductions & Reintroductions
> 
> Kerri Lemoie:  Today who's new to the call or you know has been 
>  on the cob would like to introduce themselves.
> Kerri Lemoie:  You are always welcome to do this throughout the 
>  call to yourself up and introduce yourself if you haven't before.

> Kerri Lemoie:  Is announcements and reminders does anybody have 
>  any announcements or reminders about the work they are doing or 
>  anything else going on conferences meetings other types of 
>  special topics that you'd like to bring up now.
> 
> Topic: CLR & Plugfest 3
> 
> Kerri Lemoie:  Then why don't we move on to our main agenda chat 
>  for us so today we are going to talk about the comprehensive 
>  learner record as part of cluckfest we've been sort of exploring 
>  whether we should include other credential standards unlike 
>  previous plug fast / we only did open badges three there are more 
>  standards that are trying to align with VCS and there are other 
>  standards like the CLR that have been in existence.
> Kerri Lemoie:   So today we want to.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Topic Ford and I talked about it with with folks 
>  on this call and in The Wider community of those who are 
>  participating in the plugfest to you know to learn more about it 
>  and to see what the interest is and I take it from there I'm 
>  going to put Tracy is here Tracy Tracy course Moe is joining us 
>  because he has occurred two ladies working on North Dakota and 
>  Tracy and let me know if I'm getting your title.
> Kerri Lemoie:   Wrong but I think you're the leader of the state 
>  longitudinal.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Service in North Dakota right and you've been 
>  working in the space for quite a long time.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Yeah hello everybody Tracy course well here I am 
>  the program manager the Statewide longitudinal data system here 
>  in the state which comprises education and Workforce data 
>  warehouses and through that project we've expanded into digital 
>  credentialing through the collab usage partnering with Randa as 
>  well as PCG and.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  we've published the North Dakota.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Transcript which is a centralized service here in 
>  the state as a digital credential to a wallet and that is a 
>  comprehensive learner record as well from that then we've 
>  expanded into post-secondary as well as more K-12 with the 
>  welding certificates post-secondary really concentrating on 
>  cybersecurity stackable credentials through certificates to 
>  Associates to Bachelors to a master's degree in cyber security.
> Tracy_Korsmo: And more recently we're working with the licensing 
>  organization our health and human services here in the state 
>  issues EMT the EMR EMT Advanced EMT and the paramedic credentials 
>  here in the state and that's what we're currently working with 
>  right now which is really interesting because I think that North 
>  Dakota is firmly grounded in just accepting the national 
>  standards testing on that sorry I'm forgetting.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  in the organization.
> Tracy_Korsmo: But it's just a national test that is accepted in 
>  North Dakota along with about 20 other states so it has 
>  Interstate use so that's where we're headed with the EMT is 
>  issuing that as a digital credential today that's kind of an 
>  introduction Cary how would you like me to expand on.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Yeah thank you for that introduction I was great 
>  Tracy I think you set the stage here to maybe next week and talk 
>  about how you're approaching publishing this standard and the 
>  various parts and if you have anything to show us that might be 
>  helpful for those who have never really seen the sealer.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Sure so let me pull up my test wallet here.
> Kerri Lemoie:  You should be able to show your screen.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Okay so screen sharing.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Yes I can see it thank you.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Okay are you guys seeing my screen yet okay so here 
>  is the open credential publisher wallet that I'm logging into 
>  right now.
> Tracy_Korsmo: And so basically all the.
> Tracy_Korsmo: She'll ours that have been published to me this is 
>  obviously a test account as well as open badges are sitting in 
>  here if I look at a North Dakota High School transcript visually 
>  this is a summary of the transcript and essentially the course 
>  grades but if I get into the details of the transcript you'll see 
>  that it is verifiable credential debut three see the proof and 
>  the CLR Kyle be verified the learner as well.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  as the publisher and each one we do.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Embedded evidence to help with the cold start of 
>  sharing clrs we can do a pdf version of that.
> Tracy_Korsmo: And then we just get into the details of a North 
>  Dakota High School transcript and bringing it down to the level 
>  of an individual course the issuer being Great Plains High School 
>  with its public key the results as well as alignments and this is 
>  referencing the case North Dakota case Network.
> Tracy_Korsmo: We have the state course code defined as well as an 
>  alignment to the national state course codes the sked codes so 
>  that is the metadata reference to the course definition and the 
>  competencies and skills related to that going back to the wall at 
>  if I look at a non transcript type here this is career-ready 
>  practices work based learning it's kind of like 21st century 
>  skills if you will.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  so this is just a.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Issue to the student and this has course transfer 
>  abilities to community colleges and in this credential here 
>  you're going to see a reference to not only the competencies 
>  represented here in North Dakota for that credential but you will 
>  also see a reference to the credential engine.
> Tracy_Korsmo: So here's karate practices as in the credential 
>  registry here in North Dakota and that's kind of where we're 
>  leaning with most of our recognized credentials in the state is 
>  they'll be at least in the credential registry and in some cases 
>  there will be articulation of the skills and competencies in the 
>  case Network as well.
> Tracy_Korsmo: So what I look at what we're currently working on 
>  in mind you these are not published clrs these are uploaded clrs 
>  but if I look at like an EMT.
> Tracy_Korsmo: EMT at this time is not defined as competencies or 
>  skills as that should be a national publication of those but we 
>  do have the credential engine definition here in North Dakota 
>  sorry about this anyway that is a credential engine and the 
>  definition in the credential engine I'll stop there and answer 
>  any questions.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Make sure to yes we have money you in the queue 
>  right now somebody why don't you go ahead with your first 
>  question.
> Manu Sporny:  Sure thanks Kerry Tracy this is this is really cool 
>  really loving the demo so far I noticed that you've been saying 
>  that some of this is CL are I saw an open badges thing in there 
>  as well I take it like this wallet contains both types of Records 
>  in there is that is that right or II I'm getting confused 
>  between.
> Manu Sporny:   In like what's the badge and.
> <kerri_lemoie> Example structure of a CLR v2 in the spec: 
>  https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/clr/v2p0#basic-clrcredential
> Manu Sporny:  What CLR and is there any overlap between the two 
>  you know what.
> <manu_sporny> Thanks Kerri ^ above is helpful, looking now.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Okay so what we've done in this project is we do 
>  allow the individuals to connect to OB 2.1 connections and pull 
>  in any badges they have through a badging vendor and bring that 
>  into your wallet so the open badge hold on a second so now you'll 
>  see that.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  I can pull in any.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Churches that have been published to Badger right 
>  now and put them into my wallet.
> Tracy_Korsmo: So what you're seeing here is the badges that I 
>  have pulled into my wallet and so.
> <kerri_lemoie> 2.1 (2.0) badges are not aligned with W3C 
>  Verifiable Credentials
> Tracy_Korsmo: I can verify this badge with a badger as well but 
>  more importantly I can embed this in a CLR and once it's embedded 
>  in a CLR it's really not verifiable anymore because it's just 
>  self-assertion if you will and that's one of the reasons for OB 
>  3.0 to be able to verify publish and verifiable credential is now 
>  I can publish that as essentially a single assertion CLR.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  so now it's verifiable.
> Manu Sporny:  Yes thank you.
> Tracy_Korsmo: In the credential itself that makes sense and then 
>  I could curate a collection here just by simply choosing which 
>  clrs I want to combine if you will in a presentation and creating 
>  a collection and then I could literally share that collection out 
>  so if an employer or somebody wants to receive three credentials 
>  that I have I don't have.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  have to send them three requests.
> Tracy_Korsmo: To receive them or share them three different times 
>  I could curate a collection of them more like a job resume if you 
>  will and just share the.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Can't you see we have a couple more people in the 
>  queue would you like to present more would you like to answer 
>  questions first.
> Kerri Lemoie:  And Kimberly you are next.
> Kimberly Linson:  I was actually just going to share a couple of 
>  things that I think helped in this open badge versus CL are 
>  formatting like like how do you choose when do you choose why do 
>  you choose and so Tracy I don't do I need to do you need to stop 
>  sharing for me to share or can I start hearing if I just.
> Kerri Lemoie:  I think case you would have to stop yeah then you 
>  can start over there you did.
> Tracy_Korsmo: I think I stopped.
> Kimberly Linson:  Okay so I I have been doing a bit of analysis 
>  around am I showing my are you seeing a welding American Welding 
>  Society license oh good okay it's very tiny on my screen so this 
>  I'm going to show you two different credentials and I think this 
>  is where the conversation has to start around.
> Kimberly Linson:  Kind of credential format are you using this 
>  American Welding Society license and and we do a lot of our work 
>  is in professional licensure so that's what I'm going to I like 
>  to talk about but this one you can see this is American Welding 
>  Society is issuing organization there is basically one assertion 
>  this person is a welding inspector they have there's a license 
>  number associated with it.
> Kimberly Linson:   Some signatures and what not but this.
> Kimberly Linson:  Could probably be accommodated by What Would by 
>  the open batch right it really is asserting one thing the problem 
>  becomes when how do I undo share.
> Kimberly Linson:  Okay there and then I can.
> Kimberly Linson:  Is the Colorado teachers license and we 
>  actually as a part of the work we're doing on the NG a project 
>  wanted to make this an open badge we thought that was going to be 
>  just the easiest and smoothest way to transport this data from 
>  our system into the my Colorado app and into teacher wallet but 
>  unfortunately what we ran into was that because of the way that 
>  there are so many endorsements and then even these children 
>  underneath the.
> Kimberly Linson:   Endorsements that you probably can see.
> Kimberly Linson:  Nations that you can have different 
>  designations and so because there's so much parent and child 
>  reaction inside of this license this is why like the CLR is good 
>  and when Tracy shows the transcript or when we look at at EMTs 
>  and we think about all the things that go underneath their 
>  license that's why the comprehensive learner record really made 
>  sense for this particular license but I think.
> Kimberly Linson:   I think that's one of the.
> Kimberly Linson:  That I want to say is that the decision about 
>  what try not to unsure about which format which standard format 
>  to use is about which one is going to reduce the most friction 
>  right is it is are you only trying to say one thing then open 
>  badges probably the right choice if you're trying to say lots of 
>  things then CLR is probably the right choice.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Thanks Kimberly and I'm going to call it an 
>  unfilled because he's next in the queue but I was wondering the 
>  Tracy or or Kimberly if you have the structure for what it looked 
>  like one of these clrs would look like the actual like metadata 
>  so that those who have wallets could look at see what that looks 
>  like like a real example because I think the one in the bathroom 
>  the CLR spec isn't quite as like quite like yours because what 
>  are you if you.
> Kerri Lemoie:   Have any of that you could.
> Tracy_Korsmo: I should have some Json.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Perfect let me let me call on on fill and then 
>  maybe we could take a look at that that would be really helpful 
>  still anyway yes.
> Phil Long:  Yes hi can you hear me okay great Tracy nights great 
>  great presentation so far and in Kimberly already address I had 
>  two parts to my question the first way is to go into a little bit 
>  more about alignments because I think that's unique to the CLR in 
>  the badge space and and Kimberly Hint it to it and by saying that 
>  alignments actually pertain to the relationship among either 
>  assertions.
> Phil Long:  Endorsements if you will to a particular transcript 
>  which is effect effectively the documentation of the diploma or 
>  degree but I think Kimberly talked about that and the only thing 
>  I would add to it is that it's it's more it can be more than 
>  parent-child it can be a circumstance where the illiterate where 
>  the alignment indicates that there is a set of six courses at 
>  particular.
> Phil Long:   Relationship to the one on.
> <kerri_lemoie> @tracy - do you have the JSON-LD for the EMT 
>  credential?
> Phil Long:  And you have to take one of these six in order to be 
>  able to complete the overall degree requirement and things like 
>  that it's the stuff registrar's a lot of because it distinguishes 
>  the thinking that went behind the set of experiences that a 
>  student took in the pursuit of their of their diploma the second 
>  question I was going to ask was really about.
> Phil Long:  Different differentiation in the CLR between the 
>  publisher and the issuer and you might want to spend a few 
>  minutes just making sure people are clear on that because I think 
>  that's also unique to the CLR structure thanks.
> Tracy_Korsmo: I think you have quite a few questions in their 
>  fellow but you know when it comes to the publisher versus the 
>  issuer in North Dakota we set up the state a state node if you 
>  will of a publisher so we at the state ourselves authorized any 
>  entity that we want to issue underneath the brand of North Dakota 
>  it does not mean that the state is issuing a high school.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  script the issue.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Is still the high school but the state is doing the 
>  publishing of the CLR on behalf of the high school is that where 
>  you wanted to articulate that Phil.
> Phil Long:  Yes I think that the notion there that you correctly 
>  point out is that there's a publisher and there's an issuer and 
>  this particular case I think the issuer is the local organization 
>  if you will or the most local in the context of the hierarchy of 
>  institutional relationships and and the state is the publisher is 
>  that correct yeah so that's why I think that that distinction is 
>  unique to the CLR.
> Phil Long:   Of to an issue were always in a.
> Phil Long:  Me or or other kinds of badge it is it is there's one 
>  entity that is the issuer either the person's self issues or a 
>  third-party issues something to a person but but in the case of C 
>  large distinct.
> Tracy_Korsmo: So this you know I think maybe our CLR terminology 
>  right now might be a little bit misleading because we are calling 
>  it The Publisher is the Great Plains High School but it was 
>  published through an open ends are open credential publisher 
>  installed by the state of North Dakota authorizing Great Plains 
>  High School to publish and that's a good point is.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  each one of these credentials is.
> Tracy_Korsmo: An issuer but up here we are still calling the 
>  publisher Great Plains High School this could be the state of 
>  North Dakota.
> Phil Long:  Yeah that would be helpful to probably normalize in 
>  some fashion that's great and the other thing I guess is the 
>  difference between CLR one and CLR to in part is that the course 
>  that you're considering as an entity in C LR V to at least is the 
>  same data structure in bit for bit as an OB V 3 it's it is a 
>  badge.
> Phil Long:   Edge in the data structure it's simply called in.
> Phil Long:  And as and as a consequence can be individually 
>  signed if the organization wishes to do so.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Yeah each one of these I could there could actually 
>  be an image associated with each one of these assertions and we 
>  could even call it a type badge so an OB 30 is simply a single 
>  assertion same structure as in the CLR.
> Phil Long:  And it's helpful to the to the group thank you Kerry.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Sure thank you I'm going to pull myself out of the 
>  queue for now and let Greco and Greg he grabbed the floor there.
> Kerri Lemoie:  I'll come back.
> Greg Bernstein:  Hi I've been working on this is great Bernstein 
>  I've been working on the test vectors and things like that for a 
>  bunch of the security Suites and most recently been doing a lot 
>  of work with BBs and selective disclosure I went and looked at 
>  the CLR before this talk and I was looking through the document 
>  because I wanted a complicated transcript to apply selective 
>  disclosure.
> Greg Bernstein:   There were no.
> Greg Bernstein:  Document and I see you've got these great 
>  examples do you also have desires as far as functionality related 
>  to selective disclosure as we're looking at BBS and a bunch of 
>  other ways to do selective disclosures what kind of functionality 
>  you want is that documented would you like to discuss it that's 
>  kind of Prime on our plates for some of us right now and having.
> Greg Bernstein:   Some good examples I saw you had like 58 
>  assertions of full.
> Greg Bernstein:  Script that would be great to work with for 
>  comparing different methods of selective disclosure.
> <phil_t3> @Greg Berstein - which CLR were you looking at? (CLRv1 
>  or CLRv2?)
> Tracy_Korsmo: If I would be willing to publish a high school 
>  transcript to North Dakota wallet if you want Greg if you're 
>  looking for.
> Greg Bernstein:  Okay send me a link and such sand I can I it 
>  love the Json and also if there's people that would give feedback 
>  about besides mandatory disclosure of a subset or maybe other 
>  complicated things that you don't.
> Greg Bernstein:  Things taken out of context when you're doing 
>  selective disclosure these are some of these rough Notions trying 
>  to figure out what we want to do with Selective disclosure and 
>  the features we want with it when we take the raw crypto and 
>  apply it to the credentials so not don't need an answer now but 
>  it's people want to talk about these kind of desires as we map 
>  between crypto and the credentials and how we do this that would 
>  be great.
> <kim_duffy> Is that a selective disclosure signature suite per se 
>  or just separately issued/signed claims (in the CLR)?
> Tracy_Korsmo: Yeah I think as we're you know I'm actually seeing 
>  students sharing their High School transcript with colleges today 
>  we've had a couple of them the problem with North Dakota's use 
>  case is we have a centralized State e transcript system already 
>  and we can send out a state albeit PDFs but so it is.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  really handles North Dakota of needs quiet.
> Tracy_Korsmo: All where the value comes for the high school 
>  students is when they're graduated in need to show evidence in 
>  the high school transcript they can you know provide that 
>  transcript to a future employer education institution so we've 
>  had a couple of do that on their own so that's work but I think 
>  the use cases of how this is going to work the EMT first 
>  responder is a really good example of how this would work in 
>  this.
> Tracy_Korsmo: First responder trying to get access into an 
>  emergency response scenario well first responder is any of those 
>  four categories in the v of an EMT through a paramedic but if I'm 
>  a paramedic I can pretty much ignore the fact that I'm an EMT or 
>  Advanced EMT because that Trump's them all so now I have okay 
>  well how do I get this down to a single top credential but then 
>  it also is a policeman fireman.
> Tracy_Korsmo:  emergency medical personnel.
> Tracy_Korsmo: So how does that work in emergency response there's 
>  a QR code that is requesting 56 different credentials and then I 
>  selectively disclosed all five of those so the use cases are just 
>  starting to kind of play out now if that makes sense.
> Greg Bernstein:  Cool cool yeah I didn't think about that one 
>  that's real good.
> Tracy_Korsmo: Yeah and Kimberly you're working I think you're 
>  working with digital bizarre on just conceptually how First 
>  Responders work.
> Kimberly Linson:  Yes we're just starting at work and I think man 
>  who was actually on here too and I'm sure we'll talk more about 
>  that I also am thinking about the work we're doing with education 
>  Design Lab and you know they have a very interesting you know 
>  assessment you got for assessments and then there's an 
>  overarching credential that sort of goes on top of those and 
>  being able to disclose you know part of that all of that none of 
>  the underlying but but the top.
> Kimberly Linson:   Kit level comes to mind.
> Kimberly Linson:  So I definitely would love to talk more about 
>  about it.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Great thanks everybody my money you are in the 
>  queue but if you don't mind I'm going to switch my hats for a 
>  second and then I will call on you I'll put my question yeah I'm 
>  going to put on my my DCC and Standards Developer hat instead of 
>  my bcig hard just just for a moment I'm going to sit back up a 
>  little bit maybe I'm wearing both hats but you know I'm trying so 
>  as the deed as a wallet developer what we've been what we've been 
>  doing during.
> Kerri Lemoie:   During plugfest right what it was about because 
>  her podcast is.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Individual downloads of wallet and then they 
>  connect with the issuer to retrieve their credential there's some 
>  did off that happens where the issuer checks to make sure that 
>  that identity is signed and then it is published just reassign us 
>  publish it is returned back to the wallet where the individual 
>  can choose to accept it or not and this has been the flow that 
>  were using during cluckfest and in that so what I'm wondering as 
>  a wallet provider how would that EMT.
> Kerri Lemoie:   How would all of those credentials and the over.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Inner work in that way they would they all be 
>  individually signed and issued to that single ID with the same 
>  issue and state could you walk us through how that power while it 
>  should handle a COR like that.
> Kerri Lemoie:  I guess it's your Kimberly because Kimberly is
