If we plan to meet in person in the Fall, it is a long way off and difficult to predict 16:09:18 regardless of a time per day, time difference-wise, someone is always disadvantaged.. 16:09:37 Manu. We should not do a hybrid. Either a virtual 4 day, or a one day in person 16:09:47 s/Manu/Manu:/ 16:10:01 ack TallTed 16:10:01 +1 justin 16:10:40 TallTed: Things move faster in person. For myself I might have a limited travel budget so remote attendance is always welcome 16:10:42 ack ivan 16:11:28 Ivan: Face to face would be in Vancouver. W3C travel team has not yet decided whether remote or not 16:11:55 ^-- this makes sense for us to follow what TPAC does 16:11:57 Ivan: travel team needs to get the feelings of the membership. 16:12:31 brentz: we will do a poll of this group 16:12:40 Topic: v1.1 feedback 16:12:53 https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/labels/V1.1%20feedback 16:13:08 brentz: we have addressed the feedback to the best of our ability so far 16:13:57 manu: google are asking us to state that data is expected at the end of these URIs. 16:14:24 manu: kyle has added this to the feedback 16:14:35 https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/pull/866 16:14:56 brentz: this PR addresses all that we can do non-normatively 16:15:01 q+ 16:15:04 q+ 16:15:06 ack ivan 16:15:31 ivan: we will need a WG resolution to say we will go to final rec at some point in time 16:15:53 ivan: we need one paragraph to answer google's concern 16:16:40 ivan: we need to make sure that no further changes are in the final doc to be published (including the proposed editorials) 16:17:16 brentz: we will have a further resolution to include the editorials after the final version is published 16:18:15 ivan: putting editorials in the final version that address the comments of google (and others) is fine. It is other editorials that should be excluded 16:18:17 ack manu 16:19:08 q+ 16:19:28 manu: respec was updated to do linting on the specification. So when you reference these 13 terms that are defined in the spec, they can be referenced using the specification 16:19:47 manu: the other option is to remove these 13 definitions 16:19:52 +1 to just publishing, raise an issue to track cleanup, imo. 16:20:06 ack ivan 16:20:29 ivan: I advise we do not make any further changes. 16:20:46 +1 ivan 16:20:57 Topic: test suite feedback 16:21:00 ivan: in version 2 we are free to do whatever we want, but not in v1.1 16:21:06 subtopic: https://github.com/w3c/vc-test-suite/issues/126 16:21:57 cel: Tallted has commented on this 16:22:25 https://github.com/w3c/vc-test-suite/pull/123#discussion_r800718574 16:22:32 need to run in 8min, apologies 16:22:37 https://github.com/w3c/vc-test-suite/pull/123 16:22:38 cel: when a test has not been evaluated or when feature did not previously exist, I still need to repond to TallTed 16:22:43 https://github.com/w3c/vc-test-suite/pull/127 16:23:08 q+ 16:23:20 brentz: is there anyone on the call that can review these 16:23:25 ack manu 16:23:41 manu: you can add me 16:24:42 manu: we did not copy 1.0 test suite to a new one. Instead we should add tests to the 1.0 test suite 16:25:07 manu: this will not require testers to re-run all their previous tests 16:25:38 manu: there will be a proposal to change the way we run tests for v2.0 16:25:46 Topic: VCWG Draft Charter 16:25:59 subtopic: ISO Liaison 16:26:28 -> new charter's draft https://w3c.github.io/vc-wg-charter/ 16:27:01 https://github.com/w3c/vc-wg-charter/pull/66#issuecomment-1033855656 16:27:38 manu: Tony Nadalin noted that ISO is doing work on vc data model in 23220 16:27:58 ISO23220 is MDL (mobile drivers license) 16:28:00 manu: we need to have our WG experts involved in this if this is true 16:28:03 +1 manu 16:28:16 q+ 16:28:21 got it, thanks 16:28:34 ack DavidC 16:28:36 scribe+ manu 16:29:21 DavidC: There are two people from this group, Kristina and myself, attend the ISO meetings. You already have representation there. I'm not aware of data model work instead of using it... I don't know if there have any proposals that change the data model. Yes, I've seen an appendix that uses the VC Data Model to formulate mDocs, but I'm not aware of any changes at the moment. 16:29:23 q+ 16:29:31 ack Kristina 16:29:48 Kristina: Yes, VC Data Model mapping is in an annex, it's an example how MSO can be mapped into VC. 16:29:55 Kristina: Nothing new is being defined. 16:30:00 q+ 16:30:05 Kristina: confirmed what DavidC said 16:30:18 ack mprorock_ 16:30:39 q+ 16:31:11 mprorock_: Can we hae some clarifications -- if there is some work in ISO referencing VCs, then the WG should 1) be able to review that material to make sure it's conformant with current spec and v2.0, and 2) this is part of the reason behind PR 66 -- can we have clarification -- is there anything touching on how to exchange credentials? We might need to non-normatively discuss that. 16:31:11 ack Kristina 16:31:32 mprorock-: is there work on protocols to transfer VCs? 16:31:50 q+ 16:32:00 ack ivan 16:32:06 Kristina: Because there is already a liaison, members of this WG can start joining ISO calls any time, and I think you should have access to the documents as well. I don't think there is any action needed, maybe we need to reach out to ISO secretariat. When we say ISO Liaison, is that W3C -> ISO, or this WG -> ISO. 16:32:15 q+ 16:32:18 ivan: there are too many ISO groups so we have many liaison officers 16:32:33 ivan: so liaisons are very specific 16:32:56 @manu, thanks anyway I appreciate it 16:33:32 q+ to note, we need access to the material if we are going to review it, how does that happen? 16:33:45 @manu - is a liason role something you would consider? 16:33:48 -> list of ISO liaisons at W3C https://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison#I 16:33:51 Kristina: there should be a liaison between VCWG and WG4 16:34:38 Kristina: part 1 is the interfaces, part 2 is only data model 16:35:01 part 3 ... is part 5 is holder authentication 16:35:06 @Kristina - thanks - that is helpful - so transport is defined separate, but may handle transfer of VCs? 16:35:20 ack TallTed 16:35:22 q+ 16:35:34 Kristina: data objects are in cbor and it is that that is being transferred 16:36:04 q+ to ask specific liaison 16:36:17 Ted - thanks for bringing that to my knowledge - which CCG work item is that? 16:36:18 TallTed: joint project between DIF and VCWG requires everyone to enrol in DIF, so it is not a proper joint project 16:36:26 ack manu 16:36:26 manu, you wanted to note, we need access to the material if we are going to review it, how does that happen? 16:36:33 TallTed: so is there something similar for ISO 16:36:59 manu: if VC data model is being used then this group needs to be able to see how this is happening 16:37:07 q+ 16:37:15 It's NOT closed-door 16:37:24 manu: because ISO is relatively closed how do we get access to get feedback 16:37:24 qq+ Kristina 16:37:26 establish liaison and you get access to meetings and material 16:37:49 manu: only have one or two reps is not broad enough for all the group is too narrow 16:37:51 DIF project is "Secure Storage" a/k/a "Identity Hub" at https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/Home and https://github.com/decentralized-identity/identity-hub/ 16:37:56 q+ 16:38:00 ack Kristina 16:38:00 Kristina, you wanted to react to manu 16:38:04 ack Kristina 16:38:15 Kristina: closed door is not correct 16:38:21 Thanks @TallTed 16:38:21 q+ 16:38:42 +1 to getting access for everyone in the group vs. a few of us... just need it for transparency. 16:39:09 Kristina: this group defines VC data model we should not need to supervise its use in all other groups 16:39:11 q+ to note why this group cares about how data model is used in ISO. 16:39:31 Kristina: if the data model is well specified everyone should be able to use it without our group being present 16:40:01 ack ivan 16:40:02 -> ISO Liaisons currently https://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison#I 16:41:09 FHIR did the same as ISO - they have their own data model, and after that, they mapped it to a VC. 16:41:15 ivan: formally I am already the liaison 16:41:37 Kristina, yes, and they did it in a way that was not interoperable <-- this is the problem. 16:41:43 ivan: I already recieve notification of all documents. So if I see they are relevant then I can forward them to this group 16:41:55 if they cannot map it correctly to a vc-data-model by reading the spec, we need to go back to the spec and add improvements, instead of going to every single group and educating them 16:42:03 ivan: the problem is that I get overloaded with too many ISO documents so filtering is very time consuming 16:42:04 that is not scalable 16:42:14 ack brentz 16:42:14 brentz, you wanted to ask specific liaison 16:42:23 ack selfissued 16:42:23 q- 16:42:30 q- to move on, I think we've raised the concern here. 16:43:05 selfissued: the fact that other groups are using vc data model is a victory so we should concentrate on PRs 16:43:16 subtopic: https://github.com/w3c/vc-wg-charter/pull/70 16:43:25 (sorry, need to run!) Ivan, let me know if any help on ISO liaison needed 16:43:41 q+ 16:43:50 ack justin_r 16:44:03 justin_r: I agree with the text as written 16:44:06 +1 to what justin is saying 16:44:08 q+ 16:44:14 +1 to justin 16:44:32 ... it does not mean that discussion of protocols and APIs are out of scope, we can talk about whatever we want to 16:44:45 ... it just means that we wont standardise any of them 16:45:05 Justin's reading matches my interpretation 16:45:06 ack manu 16:45:14 +1 justin 16:45:41 manu: +1 to @justin_r and this PR text should be included 16:46:08 +1 to pulling in this PR and that doing so does not mean that we will not discuss protocols/apis in the group 16:46:21 brentz: any objections to pulling in this PR 16:46:44 ... I hear no objections so I will merge the PR 16:47:14 PR 66 16:47:15 q+ 16:47:18 q- 16:47:19 PRs are more concrete progess 16:47:21 ack manu 16:47:40 subtopic: https://github.com/w3c/vc-wg-charter/pull/66 16:48:08 brentz: this PR adds a similar line to the scope section 16:48:25 ... do we have concensus on this PR today? 16:49:12 q+ to set the record straight about non-normative work 16:49:20 q+ to discuss gnap in here 16:49:39 Mike Prorock: this is a minor conflict on the PR now due to a previous merge 16:49:55 q+ 16:50:35 brentz: addressing things non-normatively in a note is against ?? 16:51:07 ... scope of non-normative notes is limited by the scope of our charter and time and effort of our group 16:51:14 s/addressing things non-normatively in a note is against ??/addressing things non-normatively in a note does not raise IPR issues/ 16:51:24 ack brentz 16:51:24 brentz, you wanted to set the record straight about non-normative work 16:51:28 ack justin_r 16:51:28 justin_r, you wanted to discuss gnap in here 16:51:32 ... the note itself does not need to reflect the concensus of the group, but is something that someone needs to say 16:52:28 justin_r: there are other protocols coming down the line e.g. gnap, that mesh with VCs by design. So we must not have language in the charter that stops these being discussed 16:52:45 +1 16:52:57 ... we must not stop the WG from doing work that it sees is valuable to the community 16:54:01 ... whether this results in a note in V2.0 or in a document elsewhere is a mute point 16:54:40 s/mute/moot/ 16:54:41 +1 to Justin's points 16:54:44 ack manu 16:54:50 ... there was vast knowledge that went into OIDC and JWTs due to discussions in the respective groups even if neither group published this 16:55:05 ... in contradiction to their charters 16:55:59 manu: we do not want to cut off the ability to cut of discussions of new things that might come up 16:56:16 q+ 16:56:28 ack ivan 16:56:33 ... we should talk about things we know people want to work on and leave the door open for discussions about relevant topics 16:57:00 ivan: I slightly disagree with @manu. The list of topics is huge 16:57:52 @ivan - we are requesting the explicit ability to discuss certain items in a non normative fashion in the context of a developer guide - and I am more than willing to volunteer to do the work for that dev guide 16:57:59 ... protocols are out of scope of standardisation but the list of other topics is too huge that we could get pushback when trying to get this charter accepted 16:58:21 I submit the Web Apps charter as a counter-example to Ivan's concerns: https://www.w3.org/2019/05/webapps-charter.html 16:58:24 q+ 16:58:25 q+ 16:58:52 ivan: the work that people would like to do does not have to be listed in the charter 16:58:59 ack manu 16:59:03 q+ 16:59:22 ack TallTed 16:59:50 TallTed: the reason for a 3 year period is due to a shorter period leading to rushed recommendations with sub-par results 17:00:02 ... 18 months work requires a 2 year charter 17:00:14 +1 TallTed 17:00:25 +1 TallTed 17:00:27 +1 to TallTed -- this is the weaponizing that I've talked about all call 17:00:34 i will hard object to not explicitly including these items 17:00:47 ... we know these topics are going to come up so we need the ability to write about. This is why they should be in scope 17:00:49 ack manu 17:00:55 +1 to everything ted just said 17:00:59 Web Applications Working Group Charter: https://www.w3.org/2020/12/webapps-wg-charter.html 17:01:06 ... because we have had pushback in the past for topics which other said were out of scope 17:01:37 manu: it is not unusual for W3C to approve charters with a long list of items 17:01:53 ivan: I can concede on this point 17:02:08 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:02:08 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2022/02/09-vcwg-minutes.html ivan 17:03:14 rrsagent, bye 17:03:14 I see no action items
