MIMI interim, June 19 2024

Content Draft

• Raphael: Do you have implementation to share?

  • Rohan: Will by next IETF. Anyone else?
  • Show of hands: 4

• Rohan: Travis, ok with closing ticket on Matrix extensible events?

  • Travis: yes

• Rohan: Thoughts on leaving implicit id, given potential value for
  sharing message history?

  • Raphael: Maybe premature to make that decision

Metadata Privacy

• Konrad: #3 is still the pseudonym approach, but with handshake
  messages encrypted to the hub?

  • Rohan: Yes

• Brendan: What is the value of having pseudonyms, if they can't be
  tracked to prevent abuse?

  • Rohan: There are other approaches to solve abuse, for example,
    privacy pass

• Konrad: I think we agree we want a non-protected mode, and a
  metadata protected mode. Question is just which mode for protection.
  Proposal to wait for Brendan's I-D then decide.

  • Rohan: If we go with #4, we will have to come up with a new
    mechanism for how we do almost everything in mimi. Deployment
    will be unlikely because of legal requirements.
  • Brendan: What mechanisms / what legal requirements?
  • Rohan: KYC. Supporting banishing someone from group.
  • Alissa: Regardless of where we land, need to enumerate how we
    envision all the typical admin actions working
