ADM Working Session plan

DID WG Participants,

Those of you who attended the most recent session of our virtual
face-to-face meeting were told that we would continue our discussion on the
Abstract Data Model, Representations, etc.during a session on Thursday,
November 5, 2020, at 12:15 ET.

We are grateful for how hard our group has worked in the past to find
consensus around difficult issues and we are confident that our group
members will be able to find it here.

The chairs had a long discussion today about how to move forward and have
decided to focus the upcoming conversation around a few key questions.

The proposed format of the session on Thursday follows:
The chairs will invite working group participants to add themselves to the
queue to provide an answer to the following questions as they relate to the
ADM conversation thus far:
1. What critical use case of yours does the current spec text prohibit that
you assumed would be possible?
2. What concrete change should be made to the current spec text in order
enable the use case?

Group participants will then be invited to add themselves to a secondary
queue to answer the following questions, as they relate to the previous
answers:
1. Which of your critical use cases will break if the spec text is changed
as recommended?
2. What alternative spec text change should be made that would enable both
use cases?

The chairs hope that this approach, focused on practical implementation
concerns rather than theoretical or philosophical ones, will lead us toward
the clarity we need to find consensus so that we can move forward.

Please come to the meeting prepared to address the questions above.
Please reach out to the chairs directly in the case of questions or
concerns.

Thank you,

Brent Zundel and Dan Burnett, W3C DID WG Chairs
