- Discussion / Topics
- DIDComm Interopathon
- MultiKey is not listed in DIDDoc specs? (It wasn't obvious from looking at https://www.w3.org/TR/did-extensions-properties/#verification-method-types)
- Demo doesn't support JWK. A couple of the participants only use JWK (Mediator also doesn't support JWK)
- DID Core Spec states that IDs must be a full URI. did:peer:4 states that they can be relative. This contradicts with the DID Core Spec
- We should raise this to the DID Core Spec group and get it resolved there
- Look at bi-weekly UG meetings? (one in the morning, one in the afternoon)
- We could actually do weekly if we stick a morning meeting on the same day as the working group meeting
- Universal resolver can't resolve did:peer:4

- Collaboration with HL Aries WG
- Aries is looking to make ammendments to the credential protocols, where should this conversation happen?
- https://github.com/decentralized-identity/didcomm-book/pull/19
- https://github.com/decentralized-identity/didcomm.org/pull/102
- https://github.com/decentralized-identity/didcomm-demo/pull/68
- didcomm.org rewrite
- Should the rendering engine behind the site be changed?
- It would be useful to refer to things that are not protocols
- Concept RFCs to help define things like goal codes
- For organizations that have protocols outside of didcomm, it would be helpful to include/render protocol specs that don't exist at didcomm.org
- Example: example.org/my-fancy-protocol/1.0/
- It would be nice if the book documented how one could create a new protocol/spec
