Alternate Monday meeting purpose

🎥 31'10": In last week’s meeting, the media identifiers task force determined that their work was complete for now, given the CAWG’s acceptance of the new section on media identifiers into the metadata assertion.

The alternate Monday time slot is now available; is there a new body of work to take up that space? (FWIW there was an interesting discussion on how organizational identity governance should evolve) that might be a candidate for this space.

OUTCOME: We will use next Monday’s meeting (08 December) to review wording on roles and the potential conflict between identity and metadata assertion.

ACTION: Eric to work with Scott on spinning up a trust registry task force (issue #247) and with Andrew on spinning up a VC integration task force.
