I don't think thinking about what's happening right now is the right mental model. Here are some facts: * The DID Core specification had overwhelming positive support by W3C Members[1]. More than WebAuthn, more than PNG, more than WebAppSec, more than WebRTC, etc. Let that sink in for a second. :) * There is W3C Mission/Vision work to establish not favouring centralization at W3C[2]. * Two of the three objectors said "we want to see the DID WG do more work"... not less, and certainly not "we don't want this work to happen at W3C". At this point, we have a very clear signal from the W3C Membership that they *do* want us to pursue decentralization standards at W3C. If you want something to happen at W3C, you make it happen; it is a membership organization driven by the members desires, and in this case, the vast majority of the membership that cares has given a pretty clear signal of approval of the work.
