Re: Request to Migrate DID Method registry management to W3C DID WG

Thanks for this info.

I have to admit, the discussion about where the registry should live and
why is a bit opaque to me...

Although as of yet I have done zero work, I was still thinking about
building an editable database of methods at some point. Does this proposed
move rule that out?

I totally agree that a 'single source of truth' is vastly preferable to
multiple competing lists of methods, but I'm not sure the best way to
coordinate.
