Aside from the W3C approval process that Ivan mentioned, which is highly unlikely to be approved by this Thursday, there was an agreement[1] that the VC-JWT Editor's do the following things: 1. Directly update the specification based on what they felt needed to be done, given that it was noted that the specification was in bad shape[2]. 2. Prepare a FPWD-ready document (Orie did this, thank you). 3. Present it to the group and have the group do a review of the document before it is published. At this time, I will note that: * Items 1 and 3 have not happened. Regarding item 1, the large PR with concerns was merged (which was expected), but hardly any reworking of the specification for FPWD has occurred. A cursory review of the document shows that the specification is in just as bad of a shape as it was when we discussed it during the call last week. There was an opportunity to fix large parts of the specification, add issue markers for areas that are problematic, and, in general, improve the specification for FPWD publication. AFAICT, that has not happened. Regarding item 3, it was explicitly stated[2] that there would be a review cycle on the Editor's reformatting of the document for FPWD. Now, there seems to be a rush to publish while ignoring that review cycle. To be clear, I'm not objecting to FPWD. I'm just noting that what's happening is not what the WG had agreed to last week. I expect the Chairs to enforce the consensus of the group. -- manu [1]https://www.w3.org/2017/vc/WG/Meetings/Minutes/2023-04-12-vcwg#section3-4 [2]https://github.com/w3c/vc-jwt/pull/68#issuecomment-1503580134 -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. https://www.digitalbazaar.com/
