I think that in addition (or where impractical, instead) of issuing a VC listing the registry entries, the registration authority should issue a VC to each registered entity that they could in turn publish. I think that should be within the scope of this effort. Yes, agreed. I think that's already in scope and we cater to that use case (but are not explicit about it in the spec). I have raised a tracking issue to make sure we do what you said: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/verifiable-issuers-verifiers/issues/50 > Taking that a step further (although outside of the scope of what I understand this specification covers) an entity with a DID could publish that credential they get from the registry authority in their <did>/whois Verifiable Presentation, for anyone to see. Given a DID, anyone can resolve "<did>/whois" to get verifiable data from "authorities" (whoever that might be) about that DID and the entity controlling it. This is a link to the did:webvh spec where the <did>/whois concept is described -- https://identity.foundation/didwebvh/v1.0/#the-whois-use-case. Yes, good point. I've raised another issue to track the discussion here: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/verifiable-issuers-verifiers/issues/50 Thanks for the feedback, Stephen, much appreciated! :) -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. https://www.digitalbazaar.com/
