Re: Decentralized identity leaders partner to accelerate DID method standardization

Yes good stuff.  I think everyone has pretty much settled on did:web in the absence of more formal standards

Although did:web has challenges with portability across domains so it would be good to have a WG that can look at lived experience with the most popular did methods and address some of the challenges.  

On that - a little plug for https://bcgov.github.io/trustdidweb/ - from my colleagues in Canada...
