CASA Editorial 17 Nov

PRs to refine/move to close

• quick merge - accept injector protection CAIP as draft for now
  • merge it!
• CAIP-10 + 19 update - last last call!
  • merge it!
• session identifier CAIP - any objections to merging once a regexp/maximum length is in place and token generalized to identifier to generalize the semantics?
  • note: caips#170, which was a straw man for a universal session object across both architectures, will stay draft if not be closed altogether-- too soon, no point :D
  • Ligi: Discussions-To should point to a GH discussion about 170 and 171 !
    • Ritave opened one! :D https://github.com/ChainAgnostic/CAIPs/discussions/176
  • merge 173 close 171 leave 174 open!
• VC CAIP

Ongoing projects/topics

• lifecycle overhaul for web publishing
  • should we get explicit about review qua time limit, as per EIP precedent? otherwise, how to timebox stages in lifecycle?
    • sergey: 6months since breaking change/changelog entry?
    • [ ] retroactively apply to all open REVIEW CAIPs
  • start using "14 day close" tag now that most workstreams are biweekly?
  • start changelogging after status hits draft, review, or final?
    • [ ] add lifecycle section to CAIP-1 which mentions changelog practice
• PRs not ready, still being flushed out
  • CAIPs#162 - DagJWS - generalizing cap obj will make more ready?
    • [x] merge when zach says it's ready!
  • CAIPs#167 - StreamSync - still feels v Ceramic-specific, how to generalize?
    • [x] merge when zach says it's ready!
  • CAIPs#168 - IPLD timestamp proof - I still want my block height parameter for this to be bidirectional 🤣
• CAIP-25 almost there?
  • 3 version of CAIP-171: original flavor, wordsmithed and generalized but more explicit, and opinionated/constrained version extension of 173
  • leaving 174 open lets syntax get hammered out later
  • remaining nits for next RPC session (next week):
    • error defs and assumptions around accounts
    • session management - may stay open until session objects get standardized?
    • namespacing wallet methods
      • snaps... OOB or namespaced?
      • [x] - juan hassan and olaf will talk before next RPC!
    • extensions versus full flat versus idempotent caip-2 style - can prepare a PR for next meeting if it would help move things along
• licensing minutae
  • CC-0 license in CAIPs and Namespaces at repo-level?
    • does it really matter at repo level?
    • Olaf: so that we don't have to refer to CC website
    • [x] Olaf or Juan will add LICENSE file
    • [ ] Juan will replace external links with internal links (and in CAIP and CAN templates!)
  • Sergey: what about the j'ekyll code tho?
    • Olaf: CC0 doesn't work for software ; dual-license CC0/mit0
  • Community specification and CLA-bot per GH account for new UCAN interop repo?
• what the heck happened to CAIP-50? I'm getting pinged about it at multiformats and that seems urgent now becuz of IETF

Backlog

• fix hedera and hive namespaces (now legal post- #160)
• anyone heard from Jared at Auth0 lately? anything we can do to get that moving?
  • olaf: i'll ping thread cuz snaps implementers have been asking about exactly this!
• all of namespaces :disappointed:

Next Steps

• [x] rocco will ping juan when namespaces#25 is gtg
