Other Business

• Future of this meeting (and Indy collaboration generally)

    • Note from Aries calls: no apology is needed if people take longer to respond to things.
    • Evernym focused on a COVID19 response project through end of May
      • Richard's role changed, so we need a change in host for this meeting
        • Stephen Curran will host
    • More async collaboration

Future Calls

Next call:

Future:
