Read release notesThe issuer registry pre-viable governance (PVG) is a simple demonstration issuer registry without the proper governance structure in place.
The PVG Verite Issuer Registry focuses exclusively on Issuer ID and authorization and leaves out of scope governance considerations. As such, this should be viewed as an experimental implementation for the initial Verite issuers as the governance structure is being developed, with only manual and Circle-governed additions and removals until such a time as Verite issuance can be communally self-governing.
The PVG Verite Issuer Registry identifies entities authorized to issue Verite credentials (segmented by different credential definitions); for each, it provides the exact issuer-service identifier (usually a DID) included in their Verite credentials, along with associated metadata.
On receipt of a Verite credential, a verifier confirms:

and beforeeffectiveEnd
, if present.The Issuer Registry, along with the Issuer Rules associated with credential types and processes (described further in Verite Governance Overview), helps achieve determinism in Verite credential issuance, in the sense that identical identity claim inputs should lead, among different Verite issuers, to the same decision to issue, or not to issue, a credential. The PVG version of the Issuer Registry is an experimental placeholder while the MVP is being developed.
The PVG issuer registry will be stored off-chain as a JSON file in Verite gihub repo (similar to Verite credential schemas and processes).
The structure, usage, semantics, and lightweight governance is described here.
All is to be interpreted as experimental for PVG and subject to revision.
