Key Discussion Points:
 * Query for Digital Certificate Use Case for Direct Project**
 * The group started making revisions to the initial **Query for Digital Certificate Use Case (for directed exchanges)** undergoing consensus to develop the **Query for Digital Certificate Use Case for Direct Project**
 * The definition of Direct Address leveraged from the Direct Project was sufficient to maintain as is and to replace electronic address across the Use Case, hence no changes were made
 * Prior to making further revisions, the community emphasized that there was no need to continue work on the first Use Case focused on directed exchanges
 * In regards to cashing certificates, some members saw a need to keep the concept for the Use Case. Given that verification against CRL is out of scope, a question was raised about where to include this concept in the Use Case
 * Certificate validation addresses the issue of someone being able to cash certificates, hence no need to address it further in the Use Case. A definition of certificate validation has been included in the glossary section
 * For out of scope items, there was a preference to make it clear why some things are out of scope e.g. certificate validation covers this need.
 * The verification of certificate against a CRL was excluded as an out of scope item, rather it should be part of post-conditions instead
 * In the post-conditions, one statement reflects this i.e. “the digital certificate requester system performs Certificate Validation on the digital certificate returned by the Certificate Directory”
 * In regards to adding patients in the Use Case, patients are not seen as users of the Certificate Directories, rather they can be included in the Communities of Interest group
 * Patients were included as a Community of Interest and a proper definition will included offline
 * Instead of combining EHR/EMR/PHR vendors, PHRs vendors should be a separate Communities of Interest group
 * The challenge and value statements were revised to be more specific to Direct, simply by adding “using Direct”
 * The assumption that excluded expired certificates will not be returned did not seem appropriate to state and was removed, because those certificates may still need digital certificates for validation
 * The assumption of certificate discovery having a pointer to the digital certificate was discussed
 * The assumption is more of how it works and really is more implementation focused
 * The assumption tries to address when certificate directory does not have the certificate and needs to get it from a CA or other source
 * There is a need to determine whether to leave or exclude this assumption

Resolution(s):
 * Consensus on the initial **Query for Digital Certificate Use Case (for directed exchanges)** will be discontinued and the focus of the SWG will be solely on the Direct Project version
 * Included a definition for Patients as a Community of Interest
 * More comments on the Assumptions section of the new Use Case need to be addressed in the next call
