Hey @tkatrichenko / @hythloda / @stas-sbi / @waynecollier-da / @isegall-dam - just pinging to see the status of where our proposal is at and whether anything further is needed

[waynecollier-da]

So you're aware, there's extensive work underway to define a standard for credentials and party metadata in Canton.

Data structure and overall architectural approach: canton-foundation/cips#204
Party profiles:canton-foundation/cips#169
Name resolvers (and imports from non-Canton naming systems): canton-foundation/cips#171
Unique issuance on-ledger: canton-foundation/cips#209

I expect an overall technical strategy doc integrating across these topics to be available in approx one month.

@jmahmud Here's the synthesized technical strategy doc for party metadata. If you're interested in joining weekly calls on this topic, please feel free to join the identity & metadata SIG.
