Minutes

Questions:

  1. Interoperability. Answer: use standards
  2. Privacy vs AML/KYC - (see above) Stephane Mouy: One question - How does this proposal accommodate Anti-money laundering requirements ? Although the account model no doubt has many limitations and is costly, one benefit is that it puts the onus on established third parties (financial service providers which are regulated entities) to ensure compliance with AML requirements. How would this apply here?
  3. How does it co-exist with cash? - RonQ
  4. Peer to peer without eventual reconciliation.
  5. Focus on payments infrastructure.
  6. Two tier system vs direct claims - tokens migrating- distribution of cbdc through ATMs
  7. What about the cloud architecture should support the project? How AWS, Google, Microsoft and other big players will interact with Fed?

The CMSIG can collaborate on a response to the DDP whitepaper. This is totally up to the group.

A page to co-ordinate the response to DDP has been created.

      Hello Paulo,

      Apologies for misspelling your name, this page is meant for self-service and you can make the change yourself.

      In fact, I put it in the chat and in the emails for people to add their own names and to comment.

      We do not have anyone scribing the calls, so I just put my notes in there when I can and add peoples names.

      There is also full recording (video and audio) that I add to the page.

      Thanks for showing up and sharing your knowledge on the call. Next call (July 29) is going to be even more exciting.

      Thanks

        Paulo Jacinto Rodrigues Made the correction. Thanks
