Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

The Decentralized Identifier Working Group charter [1] is hereby 
extended until 2023-05-31.

The goal of this extension is to allow the group to propose its new 
charter [2], which the chairs consider reasonably stable now. Refer to 
the August 2021 advance notice [3] for more information.

The mission of the Decentralized Identifier Working Group is to 
standardize the DID URI scheme, the data model and syntax of DID 
Documents, which contain information related to DIDs that enable the 
aforementioned initial use cases, and the requirements for DID Method 
specifications.

More information about the Decentralized Identifier Working Group can be 
found on its home page [4], including information about group Chairs, 
Team Contact and instructions for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Pierre-Antoine Champin, Decentralized Identifier WG Team Contact, at 
pierre-antoine@w3.org.

This extension follows section 4.5 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
