I think privacy is an integral part of blockchains.

If you consider integrating a Bond Market into a blockchain (which you technically could do), then Privacy evolves into a requirement.
Otherwise you could
profit from force liquidate other positions.
It's like playing poker on a blockchain (which you could also technically do) .. but if you know your enemies hands .. well .. you shouldn't "play".

In short, Privacy (by what every technological means) is VERY important for any future blockchain!

Indeed, the fact that the ledger is open should not prevent the
integration of privacy-preservation mechanisms. In most use cases, the
lack of privacy would constitute a show-stopper to adoption.

I don't think we have to consider privacy in an open ledger system.
In an open ledger system all information is open. By definition. So
there is no private information. If somebody wants to keep
information private, he is not supposed to put the information into
the system the first place.

Hi all.

Thanks for the email, it is very useful for all of us who could not
attend the complete meeting (or attend at all).

One doubt/comment about the evaluation criteria. Is privacy being
considered as part of the security criteria (or any other criteria,
although I'd say that it fits better in security, if any) or not at all?

If not being considered either explicitly nor implicitly, I'll give
it a thought. A system may be really secure (in terms of
confidentiality (!= privacy), integrity, availability and so on)
against any kind of considered attacker, but still lack privacy.

In the concrete context of blockchain, as in most other contexts, a
proposal may be privacy-respectful depending on the use case For
instance, private "enough" for conventional value transactions, but
not private enough for managing information storage.

Best,

Jesus

Welcome to the (now official) Hyperledger Community. Thank you to
everyone who helped with the launch of the project and getting
everything lined up for a very strong start.

We have a technical community call scheduled for Thursday at 10am
Eastern Time. The GoToMeeting details are below. Our apologies
for last week’s disruption with the 25 person limit. We have
fixed that issue and now have a 100 person capacity. I’m also
copying both the TSC and the technical-discuss mailing lists. In
the future, we will just use the TSC mailing list for TSC
meetings. However, I didn’t want to miss anyone this first week,
so I’ve copied both lists. If you have not signed up for any
mailing lists, you will want to do so here:
https://lists.hyperledger.org/mailman/listinfo

I look forward to our discussion tomorrow.

— Mike

*Proposed Agenda*

I’ll propose the agenda below for tomorrow, if you have other
thoughts / comments, please let me know.

1. Process for electing a TSC Chair (10 mins). Also, if you are
a Premier member and have not yet notified Todd (CC’d) of
your TSC Chair representative, please do so ASAP. We will
distribute a list of the TSC reps to the TSC when we have
everyone identified.
2. Discussion of tools/services that would be helpful to the
community. We have setup IRC: #hyperledger on freenode with
Meetbot. We have the mailing lists. Does the TSC want to see
anything else? E.g. Slack? A wiki such as
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/hyperledger shared wiki or
setup wiki.hyperledger.org <http://wiki.hyperledger.org>?
3. Future meeting day/times? Do we use this time slot for the
TSC going forward or does the TSC prefer a different cadence
and/or time or day?
4. Discuss where/how to land code. Common question we’re getting
is “where is the code?” Need to discuss how to get proposed
code into public review.
5. Discuss process for getting to a code starting point.
Proposal template for evaluation?
6. Discuss proposals for the common starting points

* Networking
* BFT
* Storage
* Cryptographic libraries
* Member services

*1. Proposed TSC Chair Election Process*

* Begin nomination period: Thursday, Feb 11th, nominations
includes a short bio/pitch less than 1 page

to Silver Members: Thursday, Feb 18th
* Send TSC members the ballot link to electronic
voting: Thursday, Feb 18th using Condorcet voting
(http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/ <http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/>)
* Voting period ends: Tuesday, Feb 23rd at 9pm Pacific Time
