Re: Decentralized identity leaders partner to accelerate DID method standardization

Manu,
I definitely think that standardizing some methods will be helpful.  A
question or two though:
1) regarding roadmap item "Working Group charter(s) proposed" - any
thoughts on where standardization will actually take place?
2) I saw a pretty good list of participation from various SDOs - did you
reach out to any contacts at IAB/IETF or other areas that potentially
provide useful input, especially on security and interoperability aspects?
if so, what feedback was received?
3) confirming that the statement "to ensure compatibility beneficial across
all DID methods" means that with a combination of standardization of
methods + resolution that an implementation of one did method meeting the
spec will be interoperable with any other or am i overthinking it?
