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

W3C is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Decentralized 
Identifier Working Group:
https://www.w3.org/2024/04/did-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 28 April 2026.

The mission of the Decentralized Identifier Working Group is two-fold. 
First, it will maintain the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) 
specification and related Working Group Notes. Second, it will seek 
consensus around the best way to achieve effective interoperability 
through common requirements, algorithms, architectural options, and 
various considerations for the DID resolution and DID URL dereferencing 
processes.

Please use the following form to have your organization join or re-join 
the group. The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/did/join

Current participants will need to rejoin the group, because of the 
addition of a new REC-track deliverable.

Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C 
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people 
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that 
meet the needs of the wider web community.

The Working Group chairs are Daniel Burnett (Invited Expert) and Gabe 
Cohen (Block, Inc). The Team Contact is Pierre-Antoine Champin (0.1 FTE).

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
