A
B
C
Sure,
thank
you
so
now
so
the
standards
working
group
has
resumed
its
work
and
we
have
now
transitioned
to
sort
of
like
aim
a
standards
maintainer
mode
where
we
are
going
to
do.
You
know
some
some,
where
we're
looking
at
issues
that
people
have
raised
and
then
also
reviewing
prs
to
that
are
not
affecting
the
actual
requirements,
but
are
more.
C
If
people
are
you
know,
reading
it's,
I
think
it's
coming
up
for
a
vote.
John!
Isn't
that
isn't
that
correct
right?
So
that's
where,
where
where
things
are
at
once,
once
that
what
has
passed
we'll
go
for
the
full
for
the
full
project
standards,
approval
which
which
we
might
be
able
to
pull
off
early
next
year
and
then
we'll
return,
we'll
report
back
on
on
on
where
that
is
where
that
is
going.
B
D
D
You
know
really
to
capture
the
you
know
the
awareness
and
you
know,
generate
a
course
of
action
and
at
the
same
time,
what
we
want
to
do
is
you
know,
take
the
next
step
to
see
well,
when
people
all
are
very
excited
about
it.
Where
do
they
go
to
find
out
more
information,
and
so
that's
what
we're
trying
to
basically
redo
the
website,
so
it
gives
them
a
nice
clear,
concise
way
of
how
to
go
ahead
and
start
getting
baselining.
D
A
I'd
like
to
make
one
comment
there,
it's
really
great
to
see
the
the
work
and
and
that
it's
you
know
that
lots
of
different
people
are
working
on
this
stuff.
It's
great,
I.
I
hope
that,
as
we,
you
know,
work
towards
explaining
things
for
business
people
that
we
we
don't
commit
to
sin,
that
a
lot
of
things
do
which
is
dumb
it
down.
We
can,
you
know
we
can.
We
can
break
it
down,
but
we
shouldn't
dumb
it
down.
I
think
that's
what
a
lot
of
I
was
just
watching.
A
A
B
A
E
A
Very
good,
so
what
I'd
like
to
say
about
this
is
that
this
is.
These
are
sponsors.
These
are
companies
that
have
decided
that
kind
of
like
public
broadcasting,
that
you
know
anybody
can
participate
in
baselining.
But
anybody
can
contribute.
You
don't
have
to
pay
a
thing,
but
the
companies
that
can
pay
can
help
us.
A
B
F
Sure,
thanks
ana,
I
think
we
kicked
off
really
well.
We
we
picked
up
some
very
interesting
issues.
I
don't
know
if
I
can
discuss
everything
here,
but
I
think
the
first
one
being-
and
you
know,
mark
cattle
briefly
touched
upon
that
which
is
synchronizing
our
marketing
efforts.
You
know
outreach
efforts
with
the
releases,
so
I
think
that
is
something
which
we
will
be
picking
up
and
and
and
addressing
very
very
soon
and
and
yeah.
B
John's
sharing
screen
yep,
we
have
11
utsc
members
representing
nine
different
companies,
a
lot
of
unique
views,
backgrounds
and
members.
Part
of
the
group,
but
yeah
we'll
have
a
we'll
have
our
first
official
meeting
since
the
kickoff
coming
this
week,
where
we
have
a
pretty
standard
agenda
to
start
covering
the
road
map
and
items
like
that.
F
B
Thank
you,
and
going
off
of
that,
then
so
into
grants.
So
our
baseline
core
devs
are
applying
for
some
of
the
remaining
grant
funds
and
also,
as
we're
nearing
the
end
of
the
2021
grant
cycle,
I'm
staying
in
close
touch
with
our
grant
recipients
to
get
updates,
as
well
as
write-ups
that
will
be
published
on
our
site
on
some
easy
to
digest
pieces
of
their
work.
So
the
public
can
understand
the
contributions
they've
made
like,
for
example,
the
zk
circuit
for
bonds,
work
that
boris
and
louise
presented
to
us
on
the
september.
B
22Nd
baseline
show
they're
working
on
a
write-up
right
now
that
will
get
published
on
the
site
as
soon
as
possible,
and
also
we
have
michael
carnes
here
with
us
today.
Who
was
a
grant
recipient
for
a
project
he
did
called
publishing
supply
chain,
so
he's
going
to
actually
walk
us
through
some
of
the
work
that
he
completed
so
michael
I'll
hand
it
over
to
you
to
introduce
yourself
and
tell
us
about
the
work
you
did.
G
Thank
you,
nice
to
meet
everybody
and
a
pleasure
to
to
introduce
myself
to
you
it's
a
background
about
maybe
about
a
year
ago.
I
was
approached
by
baseline
to
give
some
information
about
the
publishing
industry
and
see
whether
or
not
there
is
an
opportunity
for
the
application
of
baseline
in
the
publishing
industry.
So
I
acted
on
that
and
produced
a
grant
request
which
was
approved
sometime.
G
G
It's
also
a
industry
that
is
slow
to
adopt
new
technology
and
therefore
it
has
a
lot
of
kind
of
antiquated
process,
driven
processes
that
make
certain
parts
of
the
industry
quite
inefficient.
In
the
application
of
metadata
the
opportunity
there
would
potentially
be
to
exert
better
control
over
the
management
of
metadata.
G
Much
of
that
data
is
is
updated
routinely
and
therefore,
there's
there's
some
aspect
of
control
that
needs
to
take
place
to
make
it
viable
make
it
up
to
date.
Make
sure
that
everybody
has
the
right
information
right,
pricing,
right,
availability,
all
that
type
of
stuff.
So
so
that
was
one
thought
there
and
then
the
second
one
on
the
rights
and
royalties
is
the
ability
for
the
better
control
again
of
the
disbursement
of
royalty
payments
to
rights,
holders
and
rights
holders.
G
So
those
were
the
two
kind
of
areas
that
I
I
looked
at.
My
background
is
in
I've,
been
in
the
industry
for
more
than
20
years
as
an
executive
and
run
companies
that
have
managed
rights,
royalties
processes,
either
as
a
a
publisher
or
actually
a
software
vendor,
providing
the
solution
to
publishers
and
I've
also
run
a
company
that
managed
metadata.
G
G
As
you
probably
know,
the
the
market
is
fairly
structured
in
terms
of
some
very,
very
large
players
like
a
random
house
or
simon
schuster.
Those
companies
might
be
companies
that
might
adopt
something
like
this.
They
might
be
able
to
make
a
business
case,
but
beyond
those
top,
you
know
5
10,
maybe
15
players.
While
there's
a
vast
number
of
smaller
players,
those
those
companies
probably
wouldn't
wouldn't
participate.
It
wouldn't
make
sense
for
them,
so
so
the
business
case
there
would
be
probably
fairly
narrow.
G
On
the
royalty
side,
though,
there
may
be
some
opportunity.
This
is
a
situation
where
there's
you
know.
Dispersants
are
often
times
to
a
large
large
group
of
people
and
there's
a
lot
of
inefficiencies
here
and
there's
the
aspect
of
visibility
and
control.
That
is
important.
So
that's
an
area
that
would
require
a
little
bit
more
research,
there's
folks,
actually
in
that
space.
That
know
a
lot
more
about
this.
G
Have
experience
with
experimenting
with
with
this
type
of
application,
there's
been
some
misstarts
and
and
some
some
other
efforts
that
haven't
quite
worked
out.
That
would
need
exploring,
but
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
with
this.
This
I
gathered
a
fair
amount
of
information
about
this,
which
I
I
wrote
up
and
sent
in
to
to
john
some
of
you
on.
G
The
call
might
be
aware
that
microsoft,
through
with
eny,
is
working
on
an
initiative
to
improve
the
dispersion
disbursement
of
royalties
to
xbox
rights
holders,
those
folks
who
have
created
software
for
xbox
and
and
manage
that
process,
so
they're
working
on
a
custom
process
based
on
something
similar
to
baseline,
and
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
a
good
industry
example
for
something
that
might
be
leveraged
going
forward.
So
that's
that's
a
summary
of
what
what's
happened
so
far,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
G
G
The
content
kind
of
package
broken
apart
in
many
instances,
you
know
where
you
might
have
sold
the
full
journal
or
full
textbook
now
you're
you're
working
around
since
it's
trying
to
sell
the
parts
of
that.
You
know
the
chapters
and
images
and
things
of
that
sort,
so
so
that
type
of
activity
is
happening,
but
it's,
I
would
say
it
it's
less,
driven
by
the
publisher
than
it
is
by
the
marketplace
and
by
the
the
retailers
you
know
principally
being
amazon
right.
G
E
E
One
I
I
suppose
one
way
of
looking
at
it
is,
you
know
there
is
a
lot
of
dubious.
You
know
value
propositions
in
that
space,
but
one
way
of
leveraging
is
it
is
to
actually
drive
the
conversation
you
know
towards
you
know,
actual
value
which
would
come
from
people.
You
know
industries
like
yours
right,
so
I
I
what
I
was.
What
I'm
trying
to
say
is
that
you,
you
may
not.
A
Absolutely
if
I
could
say
michael,
I
kind
of
agree
with
you
on
the
skepticism
people
tend
to
pick
up
on
these
buzz
words,
not
understand
the
underlying
technology
and
say
nfg.
Let's
that's
the
new
panacea
I
I
did
put
in
the
chat
and
I'll
put
it
on
the
zoom
chat
as
well
an
article
that
was
written
before
we
were
really
talking
a
lot
about
nfts.
A
E
A
H
A
A
Cool
one
last
point
on
this,
and
I
think
this
would
have
been
good
for
your
research
that
we
something
we
have
today.
That
we
didn't
have,
then,
is
a
much
more
clear
articulation
of
what
the
point
is,
which
is
you
know,
I
think,
we'll
be
able,
in
future
grant
projects
to
be
able
to
say
look
for
this
pattern.
E
A
So
that's
you
know,
or
the
short
version
of
that
is
coordination
under
zero
knowledge.
You
know
that
is
a
very
specific
pattern
and
it
does
actually
bring
up
a
lot
of
specific
ideas
in
each
industry.
We
talk
to
now
very
doable
things
so
going
forward.
I
think
that
might
be
something
we
can
equip
with
future
research
where,
where
do
you
need
to
coordinate
without
letting
anybody
have
the
you
know
without
revealing
the
information.
A
B
I
I
Overall,
it
was
a
pleasant
and
good
experience.
I
wish
the
conference
was
a
little
more
focused.
You
know
it
being
a
baseline,
not
clear,
blockchain
topic
in
an
iot
conference.
I'm
not
sure
a
lot
of
people
understood
why
they
should
attend
or
why
they
would
come
to
that
session
versus
the
session
next
door.
I
The
original
file
was
so
big
so
for
their
infrastructure.
They
wanted
it
a
little
bit
tighter,
so
I'll
make
sure
to
get
that
uploaded
to
the
share
and
we'll
have
access
to
that.
So
it's
a
great
opportunity.
It
was
nice
being
in
the
real
world
talking
to
real
people.
It
wasn't
as
good
as
heath
atlanta,
because
heath
atlanta
was
very
focused
on
a
you
know,
a
narrower
kind
of
domain
set
and
frankly,
there
were
probably
more
people
at
east
atlanta.
A
Yeah
covet
is
doing
a
number
on
all
these
events.
Still
to
this
day,
every
single
one
I
hear
about
is
lightly
attended
is
a
kind
way
of
putting
it.
I
will
say
that
I
think
that
nick
thanks
for
for
taking
one
for
the
team
and
doing
that,
I
really
appreciate
we
know
how
busy
you
are
with
building
the
new
business,
the
baseline
business,
that
you're
building.
A
I
Yeah
the
the
idea
of
synchronizing
systems
of
record
under
zero
knowledge
using
a
collection
of
technologies
right
and
one
of
those
technologies,
just
happens
to
be
a
blockchain-
was
very,
very
well
received.
You
know
it
didn't.
You
know
it
was
leveraging
the
maturity
of
some
of
these
other
technologies
right,
like
messaging,
for
example,
and
was
very
well
received.
D
You
know
around
you
know
a
particular
user
or
group
of
users
and
whether
it's
going
to
be
parking
or
tolling
or
you
know,
paying
a
ride
share
services.
All
of
that
you
know
the
challenge
that
you
run
into
over
there
is
the
consumer
is
going
to
want
to
pay
for
all
those
services
in
a
single
transaction
and
making
sure
the
allocations
are
done.
That's
that's
the
holy
grail
because
a
lot
of
times,
you're
dealing
with
you
know,
local
municipalities,
which
are
not
always
the
most
responsive.
D
H
Preserving
way,
I
think,
that's
really
the
huge
differentiator
in
a
number
of
these
different
industries,
notably
applying
that
from
an
iot
perspective.
You
know
that's
such
a
driver
of
kind
of
the
future
of
these
analytics
from
a
supply
chain
perspective,
or
so
many
different
areas
that
we're
seeing
these
different
use.
Cases
start
popping
up
from.
J
I
H
Nick
you
were
talking
about
from
an
iot
perspective,
yeah
for
sure,
and
it's
been
interesting
to
actually
hear
some
of
a
lot
of
recent
use
cases
that
we're
seeing
from
baseline
perspective
around
iot
there's
been
three
just
in
the
last
two
weeks
that
have
surfaced
relative
to
applying
just
just
the
one
wanting
to
find
ways
to
operationalize
their
business
in
a
huge
way
that
being
a
huge
driver
of
it
and
then
number
two
like
getting
closer
to
autonomous
procurement
operations
in
terms
of
effect.
And
so
it's
been
interesting.
Seeing
that
really
surface
recently.
I
Yeah
and
a
lot
of
iot
solutions
are
really
kind
of
ecosystem
related
right.
One
iot
provider
is
unlikely
to
have
the
whole
end-to-end
solution,
yet
the
re-total
value
is
recognized
when
you
can
bring
the
data
together
to
make
better
decisions,
ultimately
right
and
being
able
to
bring
that
data
together
using
multiple
iot
providers.
Sharing
data
in
a
non-threatening
way
right
under
zero
knowledge
is
a
great
way
to
do
that.
H
J
I
mean
that
stack
we
build
over
there,
we
call
it
sweet.
The
iot
suite
has
been
very
much
not
centralized
like
for
lack
of
a
better
term
like
most
of
that's,
built
by
open
source
components
right
so
the
ingestion
side,
all
the
way
through
to
insights
right.
The
whole
flow
between
like
an
iot
device
from
the
security
aspect
and,
as
I
mentioned,
like
data
flow
again
to
how
we
store
it
and
then
how
we
analyze
it.
J
It's
all
pretty
much
an
open
stack
store,
so
a
source,
so
basically
it's
very
easy
to
kind
of
plug
in
components
there.
So
I
could
see
on
every
level
that
that
could
kind
of
plug
in
the
ones
I
just
mentioned
there,
but
probably
the
ones
around
data
sharing
would
be
like
locating
fruit
or
yeah
yeah
yeah.
H
It's
interesting
actually
you're
talking
about
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
the
traditional
web
2
world
if
you
will
and
the
composability
that
can
be
layered
on
from
that
regard
and
we're
seeing
that
the
such
driver
of
kind
of
this
movement
from
a
web
3
perspective
the
bill
that
the
composability.
So
it's
it's
interesting
to
see
how
these
worlds
are
starting
to
kind
of
collide.
B
Thanks,
nick
all,
right
so
back
to
our
general
assembly
agenda,
we
have
a
few
more
items
and
then
we'll
open
the
floor
so
really
quickly.
I'll
cover
the
cord
ups,
which
I've
given
updates
on
in
the
last
few
baseline
shows.
So
I
won't
repeat
too
many
details.
But
since
the
last
general
assembly
in
october,
we've
had
about
40
core
devs
joining
the
community,
joining
the
meetings
and
working
on
blips
and
on
the
meeting
monday
that
we
had
karthik
walked
through
the
architecture
and
code
of
baseline
from
a
very
basic
perspective.
B
But
we
just
asked
him
to
kind
of
take
us
through
baseline
from
the
beginning
and
how
the
code
works
for
somebody
who's
just
starting
to
look
at
the
code.
So
he
hosted
that
session
for
us
and
right
now,
I'm
working
with
jack
waring
and
we
are
getting
a
video
put
up
on
our
youtube
that
can
serve
as
an
artifact
for
developers
or
those
looking
to
understand
the
technology
moving
forward
and
also
moving
forward.
We'll
start
featuring
some
of
our
core
devs
in
upcoming
sessions.
Having
them
show
us.
B
A
So
if
anybody
is
really
interested
in
what
we're
building
going
forward,
what
additional
features,
what
integrations,
how
everything's
structured
docs
tools
we
were
on
a
previous
call,
in
fact,
the
one
that
made
us
almost
late
to
this,
where
we
mehran
shekhari
from
sap
led
a
whole
session
on
what
things
constitute,
baselining,
what
things
don't
and
how
systems
like
sap,
you
know,
can
approach
practical
applications.
It's
quite
an
exciting.
A
So
it's
important
that
that
we
also
really
focus
on
many
different
ways
of
deploying
a
baseline
pattern.
I
was
looking
at
matter
labs
today
and
saying
you
know
what
some
parts
of
matter
labs
you
could
see
implemented
in
a
baseline
design
pattern,
so
that
was
kind
of
an
interesting
thought
again
yeah.
What
would
it
look
like
if
you,
if
your
kafka
came
with
baseline
pattern,
features
what
if
your
mq
or
amqp
or
nats?
A
In
fact
you
know
nats
is
one
of
the
founding
organizations
of
baseline.
So
maybe
we
ought
to
go
back
to
that
and
say:
hey!
You
know
what
would
what
would
it
look
like
if,
when
somebody
got
nets
that
you
know
they
just
saw
hey,
I
can
I
can
verify
you
know,
consistency
and
correctness
and
attributes
of
unseen
information
under
zero
knowledge
right
because
you
can't
baseline
without
messaging.
A
So
that's,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
to
do
on
the
road
mapping
side.
If
people
out
there
are
interested
in
what
are
we
going
to
do
next
and
how
do
we
prioritize
it?
You
don't
have
to
be
on
the
tsc
to
do
that.
You
don't
have
to
be
on
a
core
devs.
Actually,
the
probably
the
fastest
way
to
get
involved
is
through
core
devs,
so
core
devs
will
be
working
things,
we're
going
to
set
up
working
groups,
we're
going
to
prioritize
work
and
and
then
on
the
tsc.
A
J
J
But
if
you
look
at
something
like
node.js
or
something,
if
you
go
to
their
website
and
go
to
like
what's
going
on
with
your
releases
in
the
future,
they
have
this
really
nice
thing
that
basically
goes
oh
yeah
by
this
quarter.
We're
doing
this
and
this-
and
this
is
really
like
super
summarized
and
then
yeah
if
I
want
to
go,
get
into
the
guts
of
like
you
know,
what's
john
working
on
what's
karsig
working
on,
what's
the
specific
iot
thing,
that's
great,
but
just
something
to
think
about,
like
I
don't
know
how.
A
Let's
not
think
about:
let's
do
that.
Let's
do
that
and
you're
totally
right
and
again.
I
think
it
comes
from
the
highest
level
down
to
lower
levels,
but
you
know
if
we
can
stay
high
level
to
mid
level
and
put
that
right
on
the
website.
You
know:
there's
a
lot
of
website
redesign.
That's
coming
yeah
gail,
thanks
for
putting
that
up
there,
that
I'll
tweet
that
as
well
the
you
know
we
we
can
start,
we
can
say,
look
tools.
Definitely
wouldn't
you
agree
at
a
high
level.
Tools
are
the
priority.
A
A
Okay,
I'm
just
running
hashes
on
a
merkle
tree
now
I
understand
merkel,
trees.
Okay,
now
I'm
going
to
do
proofs
on
them
so
that
I
can.
I
can
understand
each
component
of
baselining
in
a
bite-sized
way
at
the
developer
level,
it's
almost
like
the
code
should
should
the
developer
should
experience
the
code
almost
like
a
very
well
done:
slideshow
right,
yeah
concept,
concept
that
builds
on
the
other
concept.
That
comes
you
know
it
should
be
a
building
experience.
A
A
And
excel,
I
can't
wait
for
the
excel
drop.
I
mean
we've
been
talking
about
it
for
way
too
long.
I
want
it.
I
want
to
be
able
to
deploy
two
case
two
instances
of
excel
and
see
them
baseline,
and
after
that
I
want
to
see
I
want
to
take
a
piece
I
want
to
row
in
a
table
in
excel:
that's
baselined
with
sap
or
at
microsoft
dynamics
or
or
sql
server,
and
we
got
to
get
the
sql
server
guys
back
involved.
A
A
If
it's
just
a
blog,
that's
fine,
but
you
know
we
should
make
sure
that
there's
a
light
patina
of
quality
control
on
all
of
it.
You
know
it's
an
open
source
community,
so
this
ranges
there
but
yeah
make
sure
that
you
you're
coordinating
with
sonal
and
on
that,
and
anybody
in
the
community
knows
how
to
do
that
through
the
slack.
