Report on the DID Spec call today & formation of the Rubrics Task Force

A brief update on today's DID Spec call:

   - First, we agreed to propose starting a Rubrics Task Force headed
   by Joe Andrieu (see below).
   - Second, we closed on a second matrix parameter: service-type.
   - Third, we had a good, long discussion about the proposed key and
   key-type parameters. We didn't close on them, but we make a lot of
   progress.

By the end of the call, we had this general sense:

   - Next week's call (June 13) will focus on trying to complete
   discussion/decisions about the rest of the proposed matrix parameters.
   - The following two weeks (June 20 and 27) will focus on closing any
   other PR and open issue deemed critical to finishing the Community Final
   Draft of the DID Spec.
   - With luck, we can produce a proposed Community Final Draft by the end
   of the month (or worst case, the end of the 4th of July break, which means
   by the July 9th CCG call).
   - Markus hopes to also have a first complete draft of the DID Resolution
   spec by the same time frame.

Lastly, Joe suggested and everyone agreed that the CCG should start a *Rubrics
Task Force* to draft a document of rubrics for analyzing the degree of
decentralization/self-sovereignty provided by DID methods. Joe is thinking
this should be a standalone document that will be non-normatively
referenced by the DID spec similar to the way the Use Cases document is
referenced.

About a half-dozen of us signed up to work with Joe on this Task Force. If
you are interested in joining it, drop Joe (cc'd) a message.
