jasonjgw: What additional changes to we need to make to this document

janina: Asked Jeanne Spellman (sp?) to look at this

jasonjgw: The main concern is that this document was compiled mostly from meeting discussions

Scott: not sure if there is a lot out there in the research literature that can be added

jasonjgw: I did find a few things, but have not added those citations

jasonjgw: Not sure if that will be essential for a working draft

Scott: Would be OK publishing without a lot of substantive research

janina: We need some more elaboration on some of these topics, and that might be best to get more widely (not just from us)

jasonjgw: Propose that we all look at this over the next week of so for content to add and also work forward to messaging

all: sounds like a good approach

jasonjgw: The messaging will take a bit of work

jasonjgw: Who else would like to work on the messaging

scott-H: Would be happy to be involved

scott-H: Optimistic that once we publish, we will get good feedback including good citations

jasonjgw: Will bring this back next week

Accessibility of digital wallets: exploring the issue.

jasonjgw: As a result of the recent TPAC discussion it was suggested we look at the accessibility of digital wallets

janina: The direction we would like to see this proceed is to validate key documents, not just to pay for things

janina: A lot of legal documents only count when they are on paper, which is concerning

janina: Example of US Customs using electronic credentials rather than paper

scott-H: One verifiable credentials issue in Australia is how the drivers license is the default ID, but leaves out those who cannot drive

scott-H: Other things like an accessible bus or train pass is an issue

janina: Read recently about a tool for storing passwords and encryption keys securely; requires a threshold of keys to access the data; this has been around for a while and may be useful as an example

janina: Medical durable power-of-attorney would be an example of where more than one person would need access so a mixture to keys to access this

janina: Found out recently how hard it was to get an image of a government issued ID into my phone; not really accessible to a blind user

Raja: similar problem with verifying my identity when using a relay caller

jasonjgw: Strong digital identifiers will fix issues like needing to make photographs of paper credential

janina: Current work on accessibility guidelines in working groups tend to fall in what works in current technologies; this work isn't really looking forward to what is on the horizon, which is what we need to look at

janina: Propose we write to Manu and Lionel W to ask them what documents we should read and where we shout start

jasonjgw: Sound good

jasonjgw: Let's get back to this next week

Miscellaneous topics.

scott-H: Update on TPAC meeting minutes; notes have been found and they will be turned into minutes soon

janina: Need to discuss our calendar

janina: We are going to have an extreme diversity of time zones

janina: What if we take a recess for November to December?

scott-H: That sound fine; we have had a lot of output so a small break would not be an issue

raja: When are we recessing?

janina: Propose that the last meeting would be October 26; then in November and December no meetings; then resume regular meetings on January 4

scott-H: +1

janina: This also avoids the confusion around time changes in November

all: confirm the proposed meeting schedule break
