Re: Proof of Residency for public schools

Thanks for the input, Manu. Also Bohdan and Tzviya.

The best place to contribute NEW use cases is the Google doc that has served as a collection point for contributions to date. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wz8sakevXzO2OSMP341w7M2LjAMZfEQaTQEm_AOs3_Q/edit?usp=sharing

I've updated the github/ReSpec version that Manu and Amy created over the weekend. This is where we'll focus our attention tomorrow.

https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-use-cases

Four out of five of those use cases are solid. I have a candidate I might add, based on the DID Explainer contribution from Sam, and I'll likely remove one to keep the total number to five.

Eventually, that document will include a short form of all the proposed use cases, in the same manner as the Verifiable Credentials Use Case document, which has the broader list of a couple dozen cases and just three focal use cases. The Google Doc above is the best place to suggest your pet use case. NOTE: for the description, please describe the interactions or steps that an individual makes to realize the use case from start to finish. Keep the explanation of why and wherefore to the Background section. The Challenge section should highlight just those things that are tricky WITHIN any identity system, which DIDs handle nicely. In Distinctions, spotlight what in the use case is particularly interesting relative to all the other use cases.

The immediate task for tomorrow (Tuesday) is feedback on the features list that starts off the current document. One thing we found in the VC use case work was the importance of communicating which use cases covered which requirements. To help with the DID Use Cases, I identified *15 key features* that have come up in our DID value proposition discussions at the end of the year and the DID Explainer work Dan and I have done, and then I showed, in a grid, which features are explicitly mentioned in each use case.

You can see right away that two of the features are not mentioned in any of the use cases (as of my writing this email).

These *15 features* are the first distillation of multiple group discussions over several months, so while there is some consensus around the general idea for most of these, this is the first time these 15 feature have been presented in writing as a set of use case driven requirements. Those are almost certainly not the "perfect" 15 features and they can definitely use improvements in terminology and definition.

Please take a look and be prepared to improve that list of *15 features* tomorrow, Tuesday.
