 ### Ceramic
 * [An authentication system built with Ceramic & self.id](https://github.com/dabit3/decentralized-identity-example) dabit3
 This project implements a user authentication flow leveraging an Ethereum wallet for single sign on capabilities across all of Web3.
 The technologies used are [DID (decentralized identifiers)](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/), [Ceramic](https://ceramic.network/), [3id-connect](https://github.com/ceramicstudio/3id-connect), and [Self.ID](https://developers.ceramic.network/tools/self-id/overview/)
 * [Building capability-based data security for Ceramic](https://blog.ceramic.network/capability-based-data-security-on-ceramic/)
 The 3Box Labs team recently published a new standard for creating capability containers for accessing decentralized data to the Chain Agnostic Standards Alliance. Capability containers are an approach for managing advanced data security and permissions, commonly referred to as “Object Capabilities” or “OCAPs.”
 This new standard is currently in development for use on Ceramic. Once deployed in a future version of the protocol, it will allow Ceramic to be fully compatible with the new Sign-in with Ethereum (SIWE) specification as well as provide advanced data flow control features for resources stored on the Ceramic network.

 Editorial: Kaliya thinks this is a terrible idea. It is based on the premise that identity providers (issuers of credentials) should get paid every time a person (the holder) presents the credential in their wallet, when shared with the relying party (verifier) I think this is toxic and we are just finally getting to aligned standards for the VC format and for exchange protocols - now some how we are going to rapidly add a payments layer?
 NO this isn’t going to work it is going to create lockin to particular wallets for particular credentials. All because some bad entrepreneurs who are no longer leading their companies sold SAFTS to greedy investors. There is a mess under here that should be exposed further now that they are trying to push this model again. Lets just say I can’t wait for the investigative reporter to dig into the Sovrin meltdown from last year further to see what is really there. It could have all been left alone and I wouldn’t be talking about it - but they decided to push the model again.

 The Letter of Agreement puts forward three main items:
 1. Mutual recognition and support for the distinct, but interrelated, mandate of each organization.
 2. Commitment to name a member from each organization as a liaison to act as a point of contact and maintain lines of open communication.
 3. Proactively seek opportunities to collaborate in areas of shared interest, including communications products.
 This Letter of Agreement has been approved and signed by Sovrin and Trust over IP.
 It will be the basis for ongoing activity that aims to build on the strengths of both communities and advance their shared interest in the emergence of secure, privacy enhancing credential and identity ecosystems.
 David Luchuk, Program Manager for Trust over IP, addressed the importance of ensuring that Sovrin and Trust over IP’s mutual support for one another is clearly presented to the market to the broader community represented here at IIW.

 Editorial: Kaliya thinks this is a terrible idea. It is based on the premise that identity providers (issuers of credentials) should get paid every time a person (the holder) presents the credential in their wallet, when shared with the relying party (verifier) I think this is toxic and we are just finally getting to aligned standards for the VC format and for exchange protocols - now some how we are going to rapidly add a payments layer?
 NO this isn’t going to work it is going to create lockin to particular wallets for particular credentials. All because some bad entrepreneurs who are no longer leading their companies sold SAFTS to greedy investors. There is a mess under here that should be exposed further now that they are trying to push this model again. Lets just say I can’t wait for the investigative reporter to dig into the Sovrin meltdown from last year further to see what is really there. It could have all been left alone and I wouldn’t be talking about it - but they decided to push the model again.

 * [](http://validatedid.com/post-en/the-time-for-the-eidas-bridge)There’s an outstanding question, for us, around how this community explores and thinks about the theoretical underpinnings of a Community of Practice (CoP), but one thing is for sure, Keep Badges Weird is a CoP.

 The complexity surrounding any global audience can’t be understated, really. I mean, we’re talking about millions of people. GPI communications have to take into account that many are coming to Greenpeace for the first time, while others know the organization well. The audience is diverse. From young to old, every color and creed, a massive spectrum of people who are interested in the mission to “ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity.”

 Informed by standards bodies including [the FIDO Alliance](https://findbiometrics.com/year-review-fido-alliance-gains-more-ground-2021-122205/), the World Wide Web Consortium, and the Decentralized Identity Foundation, the ADI Specification was designed to help companies detect fraud using verified identity solutions while ensuring that informed consent is collected and user privacy is protected. - [quote from this article](https://findbiometrics.com/idemia-joins-accountable-digital-identity-association-board-503101/)

 We’re not convinced that “constraint” is the right theoretical approach for an emerging technology, especially one that is being deployed in different sectors for different use cases. To underscore this, we want to address a particular constraint implied by ToIP’s design concepts that is likely to be fatal to any deployment.

In May, We Are Open Cooperative also [turned 5 years old](https://blog.weareopen.coop/wao-turns-five-30747f4df0f9). We celebrated this momentous occasion by launching our [new website](https://weareopen.coop/) and adding more stuff to our [free learning resource hub](https://learnwith.weareopen.coop/).

 Yesterday, [the draft](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/vc-ed-use-cases/) Verifiable Credentials for Education, Employment, and Achievement Use Cases report was published [...] The next version of the Open Badges specification (v3.0) will be compatible with Verifiable Credentials (VCs).

 Open Recognition is the awareness and appreciation of talents, skills and aspirations in ways that go beyond credentialing. This includes recognising the rights of individuals, communities, and territories to apply their own labels and definitions. Their frameworks may be emergent and/or implicit.” ([What is Open Recognition, anyway?](https://blog.weareopen.coop/what-is-open-recognition-anyway-9f38ec1f8629)

 Sociocracy is a system of governance that seeks to create psychologically safe environments and productive organizations. It draws on the use of consent, rather than majority voting, in discussion and decision-making by people who have a shared goal or work process.

  > We’ve put together an [email-based course](https://learnwith.weareopen.coop/courses/org-strategy/) to help forward-thinking people in senior roles who might need a bit of help and orientation. We’ve broken things down into actionable steps based on the resources found at our Learn with WAO site, giving you enough direction and inspiration to get started transforming your organisation for the better!
 * [Steps to Success when building a Community of Practice: Convening systems for maturity and development](https://blog.weareopen.coop/steps-to-success-when-building-a-community-of-practice-15bd7ed9ac5c) Doug Belshaw, WeAreOpenCoop
  > This post outlines different types of work that needs to take place when planning, sustaining, and developing a Community of Practice. It is informed by work that [WAO](https://weareopen.coop/) have carried out with [Participate](https://participate.com/) around the [Keep Badges Weird]-(https://badges.community/) community over the last 10 months.

  > Some organisations were experimenting with digital badges before 2011, but these were siloed and easy to right-click and copy. The ‘technology trigger’, the innovation with Open Badges, was to invent and make available an open metadata standard.

  > This information means that this particular badge, which is manually issued, can be given out in fair and equitable ways. It also means that someone else who engaged with the Open Badges community before 2017 could lay claim to it.

  > Stealth badges at scale require an automated system that issues badges depending on particular criteria. This is why they are very common in games-based environments. For example, I unlock some most weeks playing new and existing games on my PlayStation and Google Stadia.
 * [Catalysing the KBW community](https://blog.weareopen.coop/catalysing-the-kbw-community-fa89db943418) WeAreOpenCoop
 This post shows how being intentional about community building can help people feel welcome, safe, and able to contribute. It explores three ways in which [WAO](https://weareopen.coop/) has collaborated with [Participate](https://participate.com/) to do this

 * [This model](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DZcyHKKc2LVg) […] shows how systems have a lifespan and what happens as that lifespan peaks.
 As one system begins to deteriorate, a new system begins to emerge. This got us thinking about how this model applies to the world of [Open Recognition](https://blog.weareopen.coop/what-is-open-recognition-anyway-9f38ec1f8629).

 Too often, though, these badges focus on credentialing rather than recognition. Open Recognition is the awareness and appreciation of talents, skills and aspirations in ways that go beyond
 * [How badges can change the world: Part 2: Why we need to transition](https://blog.weareopen.coop/how-badges-can-change-the-world-65395581f90c)
 In [Part 1: The Two Loops Model for Open Recognition advocacy](https://blog.weareopen.coop/how-badges-can-change-the-world-73529560caa3), we talked about how as one system begins to deteriorate, an alternative begins to emerge. We know the alternative system, one that integrates credentials with other forms of recognition, is better for everyone. Without that integration, cold-hard credentialing supports outdated power dynamics.
