Meeting minutes

minutes

[presents slides]

karen: were the merchants from all round the world?

nicktr: yes. But we don't have detail of the numbers yet

<benoit> useful to reiterate that areas where SCA was mandatory were excluded

ian: we have lots of banking partners who are interested in further experimentation
… and within the working group, we are in the process of setting up a task force to move this forward as a possible specification
… timelines are still emerging

nicktr: this feels like a great opportunity for merchants to get involved early in the development

phila: I wonder how we can get to the right people within merchants?

mel: I was thinking the same thing - large organisations tend to be very siloed
… so I don't know who would be the right person to talk to?

nicktr: it might be the fraud team

david: this demo was done with cooperation between google and stripe - it would be good to get a guide book from Stripe on how to do this

<phila> SPC blogpost

katie: how involved are Fiserv?

ian: we would love ever more involvement

karen: what do we call this?

nicktr: I would call this a prototype or a technology demonstrator

nicktr: WPWG is going to form a task force with the possibility that this moves towards a specfication

ian: blog post at https://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/

phila: could we get a video of the demo (but branded as w3c)?

ian: possible deliverables:
… spec
… implementation guide
… faq
… data
… testimonials

nicktr: should we have multiple meetings?

phila: I haven't had good experiences
