> An identity framework will need to work within such GDPR principles as data minimisation, purpose limitation and storage limitation. It will also have to deal with many of the rights that data subjects have under the GDPR, among them the well-known right to erasure (right to be forgotten), right of access and rights related to the automated processing of data. The GDPR also lays down clear responsibilities for data controllers and processors that will certainly need to be taken into account as well.

But it depends what you’re writing to the ledger, and there are a lot of solutions we’ve seen that make both inherently compatible, because they’re not exactly that, they’re not putting credentials on the ledger. It depends on the chain, it depends on whether you consider forking and other technical measures to actually introduce changes to the record so to speak.

> - 55% of survey participants did not understand that a TOS/TOU agreement is a legal contract. This has significant implications because a key requirement for legally binding contracts is mutual assent, which means that both parties have a “meeting of the minds” and must understand they’re entering into a contract.
> - None of the interview participants were aware of tools that explain or rate privacy policies and TOS/TOU documents, and half said that a score would not change their behavior.
> - 66% of survey respondents believe that privacy policies protect the business, while 50% say they protect the consumer. It’s questionable that privacy policies protect either the individual or the business, as they are primarily legal notices, disclosures of how data is used by the technology and the companies behind it. Moreover, 39% of respondents erroneously thought that the privacy policy was a contract [between them and the company].

> Underlying this conversation is the concept of privacy. Is it a fundamental right? What does it mean? Who gets to decide which conveniences are worth the tradeoffs they require? Are the protections for personal data offered by policy and law sufficient, or should technical and security protections be required? Are some systems simply too high-risk to implement regardless of perceived benefits? To answer those questions, it’s important to understand the technologies at work – biometrics such as fingerprints and facial recognition offer greater reliability, security and certainty, but raise fears of “permanent” breach if the personal data is compromised. These systems offer accessibility at scale that can be updated throughout a lifetime in a way that password-based accounts cannot equal. But fair access to all, protections of personal data, and most importantly, legal, policy, and technical protections against discrimination and abuse are critical to ensuring these and related technologies are not simply used to restrict personal freedom, or target groups and other populations. Brenda covers how these and other aspects of the modern concept of “digital identity” are being approached in different ways, and what some of the benefits and risks are for the future.

Megan: learning different things, even though don’t sound important to what you are doing, can be helpful.

Megan: still extremely new. Only 6 months next week. Think the advise is about the same. #1 thing to remember about identity: there is always going to be news stuff coming up that surprises you. Never would have thought of it that way because it’s always been the same way for a long time.

we advocate “machine-readable governance” as an architectural solution.
- First, machine-readable governance simplifies how decentralized identity works: The user software handles the rules for information flows and authentication, which are established and published by the entities with authority for governing the use case.
- Second, this architecture makes these rules transparent.
- Third, and critically, it enables these rules to function offline through caching, which, when you think about it, is an essential feature in any digital identity verification system; trust can’t be dependent on a Wi-Fi signal.

## Funding
* [FYI on National Science Foundation (NSF) Funding Opportunity: Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems program](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-credentials/2022Feb/0142.html)
NSF is introducing a new program called "Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems" (POSE). The purpose of the program is to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. Many NSF-funded research projects result in publicly accessible, modifiable, and distributable open-sourced software, hardware or data platforms that catalyze further innovation.

## Other SSI Meetup Pages on Decentralize-id.com
It's not sustainable to keep them all listed on one page, so I've split off all the presentations on Specs and Open Standards. This process will continue as each presentation is given more individual attention.
* [**SSI-Meetup on Open Standards and Implementations**]({{ site.baseurl }}/organizations/ssi-meetup/open-standards/)
- Verifiable Claims, DIDs, DID Auth, DID Resolution, various DID Methods, etc.
* [**SSI-Meetup - Use Cases**]({{ site.baseurl }}/organizations/ssi-meetup/use-cases/) - IOT, Healthcare, Banking, etc.
## Slideshare Presentations
