Re: Renewed Call for Consensus: FPWD of Digital Credentials API spec

I support publication of a First Public Working Draft.

I've closed #183, an issue I had opened and marked as FPWD blocking,
because it seemed like we had agreement on the last call that we have both
written initial substantive privacy considerations text (thanks especially
to Johann) and opened specific issues tracking further privacy concerns in
more detail (thanks to several folks, including Kyle and Martin). If I'm
closing that prematurely, my apologies; chairs feel free to correct.

I also support auto-publication of editor's drafts as new working drafts,
in order to get the latest text out to implementers and reviewers as
promptly as possible.

I hope going forward we can continue the work on privacy-relevant issues
consistently and be able to complete reviews of PRs and merge in text with
broader consensus. I think there's a lot still to do.

Thanks,
Nick
