Workshop was recorded

Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps

Practical session, what we are actually building today using the hyper ledger Aries tools

Some interesting points

- Viewing organizations as Issuers, Verifiers and Holders

- Talked about the complexity of defining a verifiable credential, I.e. what are you attesting to?

- Went over the need to make it easier for users to be able to create credential schemas and credential definitions without having to gain understanding about the tech.

- Question was asked about where do we start, do we have to bootstrap the first credential? And we went over being able to start with existing governance structures, and the trust that is already accepted there to issue the first credentials.

- I gave a demo of our prototype that shows three actors (Mine, Bank, Verifier) doing a credential exchange flow between them

Chat:

13:47:59 From John Phillips to Everyone : Matt made me muse..... While many us (myself included) may recognise the phenomena that our families and partners don't really understand what we do (and why we may get paid for it) - perhaps we should be more concerned/interested in finding ways to explain it in ways that they can understand since what we do is, actually, important to them as well as us.

There’s also the work of GLEIF with the vLEI and the ISO standards around official and engagement roles
