Hi Clive, all,

I have just updated the document "After-the-fact mandate changes" (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1psJc9UWuteSzOqIG0VLIdzdlxFb9kq-Csw-dxcjPzEo), incorporating the comments received at the 26-June RequirementsWG call. The full set of requirements now reads as follows.

Requirement 1: A user (“anchor”) shall be able to sign over its authorization over a smart contract to another user (“guardian”) after the fact.

1a: The original user (“anchor”) loses its authorization over the smart contract.

1b: The original user (“anchor”) maintains its authorization over the smart contract.

Requirement 2: A blockchain consortium shall be able to sign over the authorization over a smart contract from one user (“anchor”) to another user (“guardian”).

Requirement 3: It should be possible to re-assign the authorization over multiple or all a smart contracts for a user (“anchor”) to another user (“guardian”) in a single action.

Requirement 4: It should be possible to re-assign the authorization over a smart contract back to the original (“anchor”) user.

Requirement 5: The solution to requirements 1-4 shall not require the handing over of private keys.

Requirement 6: The solution to requirements 1-4 shall not require mutability of the blockchain.

Requirement 7: The introduction of a solution to requirements 1-4 should be backward compatible, such that they also apply to smart contracts that predate this introduction.

Requirement 8: The solution to requirements 1-4 may be programmable.

Following your suggestion, I shall share the document also with hyperledger-arch-wg@... and hyperledger-identity-wg@....

As always, reviews, comments and suggestions remain very welcome!

Best regards,

Oskar

Hi Aaron,

• My comments did not make it in Oskar's Document for what ever reason

I checked the document history of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1psJc9UWuteSzOqIG0VLIdzdlxFb9kq-Csw-dxcjPzEo, but I could not find any trace of your comments in earlier versions. Sorry about that.

• What about returns? As in merchandise you would have returned, maybe the person was going to take a flight, vacation etc. and now cannot go.

I am not sure how your comment relates to the subject of my document. My document is about “after-the-fact mandate changes”. Here either the authorized user (“anchor”) himself or the blockchain consortium (as ordered by court) turns over the authorization to another user (“guardian”).

Hi Aaron,

Do you know any mandated cases? 

What about a corporate bankruptcy: Assets and liabilities are often about the same. But who gets paid first is somehow always mandated.

Assuming so, how do we stop smart contracts auto paying out funds after a bankruptcy / untimely death from bank making automatic mortgage payments.    

-Clive.
