Readouts from Technical F2F

• Recording available of readouts from Technical F2F, which took place prior to TSC Meeting

Getting to a Code Base

• A team at the hackathon developed a PoC for a merged code base

• This team demonstrated their PoC work

• The team noted that they pivoted slightly from the original plans once the pulled code together and merged

• The net result is that they found a more elegant solution in the process

Open Discussion

• Comment about identity issues.  Talking about federation and very different requirements... are we supporting multi-sig, what are wallet requirements, regulatory issues (hardware, tokens, etc.), privacy issues (i.e. Europe vs. US),  This will affect all of our Federations.  If we create a lot of different chaincodes with authority being granted by those chaincodes, how does that work?  Suggested to TSC to determine where identity fits into the project.

• The TSC discussed general topics of the relationship of HLP protocols, code and architecture. There was interest in eventually creating a way to pass cryptographic proofs with a protocol for exchanging.

Next Steps

• Chris Ferris:  recommend to merge the codebases to then start building and testing

• Most TSC members favored moving forward with this proposal

• A request was made to see the proposal documented with a few more specifics before casting a formal vote

• https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/185C9JUICwJQFnf6vH2nOEBNATAVG1XBVY-e-EV6oRSQ/edit

• ACTION:  Chris Ferris will formalize proposal and send out for review prior to a vote

Future F2F

• Plan to have another F2F in roughly 1 month's time.

• Preference for east coast -- though may want to move GEO around
