Fwd: Formal Objections on process grounds regarding DID-WG matters

This was a message sent to the Team on September 9, 2023.

(resent here since this is context information for an ongoing Council)


----------------------------------------------------------------

[Organization] formally objects to Staff advancing the
proposed recharter for the Decentralized Identifiers Working Group
("DID-WG") to AC-review without seeking DID-WG consensus with the
weakest objections.  As a result the AC-review sees a proposed charter
that harms the DID-WG's ability to get a fair review.

We formally object to the Chairs of DID-WG not seeking consensus with
the weakest objections, including not holding any meetings on the
topic, and dismissing concerns by instead labeling them a matter for
AC-review.

We formally object to W3C Staff refusing to advance Joe Andrieu's
April 12th 2023 appeal (which would be a formal objection under the
current process document).

We also agree with claims in invited expert Christopher Allen's formal
objection, Joe Andrieu's April 12th 2023 appeal (submitted under a prior
process and identified under the current process as a formal
objection), and Joe Andrieu's September 8th 2023 formal objection.  These
formal objections include more problems with venue and process, due to
not seeking consensus.  In addition, invited expert Kaliya Young
(formerly Hamlin) expressed her support of Joe Andrieu's process
appeal, and she too is now silenced by this shift to the AC.
