+* [Mandates and Delegation](./mandates-and-delegation.md) (Rieks Joosten)
+ * The paper aims to inventory how mandates and delegations are used in practice. From that, we want to derive a conceptual, generic (mental) model that we can use to discuss any issues and ultimately transform that in useful, standardizable artefacts that allow embedding and using mandates in VCs.

 # Mandates and Delegation
 
+Author: Rieks Joosten ([email protected])
+
 'Mandates' and 'Delegation' are important topics that need to be adequately addressed in any interoperable SSI infrastructure that supports the electronic exchange of verified (personal) data, using e.g. Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Before we can do this, we need a good understanding of what these terms actually mean, and more importantly perhaps: what they are to be used for in the context of an SSI infrastructure.
