10 mins	Introduction to R3 Corda	Nils Pehoviak
20 mins	Introduction to KERI - POSTPONED to Aug-31	Robert Mitwicki	Some of the snippets in the UFWG Paper could be tweaked to ensure that a "ledger-less" and "ledger-portable" utility such as KERI has a seat at the table. We also want to consider adding KERI to the list of PIUs in section 2: UFWG Public Identity Utilities (pg.7). Rather than a full-blown KERI Utility Governance Framework Task Force, maybe a simple list addition is all that is needed at this stage.

TF Name	Mission	Members	Status
Utility Project Implementation Guide Task Force	Create the getting started guide for prospective Utility Projects.	Lynn Bendixsen (lead) Dan Gisolfi Dave McKay	*IG0029: Utility Project Guide* A new repo has been created and the TF has issued its first objective. Lynn seeks assistance on repo publishing with Mac. TF is discussing outline and questions to be answered for prospective projects. Draft Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zysi79y5vxNBxhL7yI0M6FAViC_E2VUutUfT5Eac7CA/edit?usp=sharing Initial released version: https://trustoverip.github.io/IG0029-utility-project-guide/
Best Practices Task Force	Analyze Project Interviews, establish list of Best Practices and submit each BP using ToIP Deliverables Process.	Mathieu Glaude (lead) Dan Gisolfi Claudia Grytz Lynn Bendixsen @Sarah Olfert Dave McKay	Drafting framework for evaluating public identity utilities (BP0014) (v2) Drafting v1 of three BP documents (based on feedback from interviews with decentralized PIU conveners/providers)* BP0015 - Assessing Sustainability of a PIU (v1) BP0016 - Determining Affordability of a PIU (v1) BP0017 - Assessing Alignment to a PIU Backlog Dashboard Health / Network Monitoring (Example) At future point, consider consolidating all best practices into one comprehensive document SUGGESTION: Interlocking with Saturn-V TF as a first use*r of these Best Practices.
Decentralization Task Force	Submit a BP deliverable and a design principle for what it means to be Decentralized.	Jessica Townsend (lead) Dan Gisolfi Mathieu Glaude	DP0005: Decentralization by Design What are the key attributes of a Decentralized Utility? Should we consider / review the W3C DID Decentralization Rubric Consider their dimensions for evaluation Spectrum of Decentralization Working docs: Decentralized Network Best Practices and Decentralized Network Design Principles
Glossary Task Force	Generate a UFWG Glossary in collaboration with the CTWG.	RJ Reiser (lead)	Still pending CTWG process. Submissions under review.

- RJ Reiser will add case study to UFWG doc (update from Lynn Bendixsen)
New representative of Bedrock for UFWG required
- Case study presentation via Jim St.Clair coming up
KERI witness log
- Is there interest of existing L1Us to act as KERI witness log?
- Dave McKay KERI log would be a good addition
- Stephen Curran Hyperledger Indy ledger could be acting as a KERI witness - i.e. "witness transactions"
- Revisit in 4-8 weeks and have a dedicated slot in UFWG meeting
- Dave McKay Using KERI witness logs for privacy check (track consent, terms and conditions), could be Aries RFCs

- Dave McKay report on related research work at UFWG meeting in August 2021, invite EFWG to discussion / follow-up @dav

Open Items

Low priority items that failed gain volunteers to champion cause.

UFWG Sandbox Utility
- The members of the UFWG need to gain experience before writing guidelines and best practices.
- Challenge: Create a Sample Utility comprised of 3-5 nodes for testing purposes using the Blockchain Automation Framework (BAF)
- Goal: Leverage this research exercise as a way to create BAF artifacts for Hyperledger Indy
- Tools: Bootstrapping Node Hosting - Learn BAF
