Discussion Topics

• Group Messaging Presentation
• CCG - VC Data Model Interaction

  • Patrick: After reviewing the 06/2022 Verifiable Credentials Working Group charter I noticed that Hyperledger Aries is listed as an external organization tasked "To coordinate on broad horizontal reviews and implementations related to the specifications developed by the Working Group."

    I'm curious if anyone is actively involved in this?
