Editor hat on, company hat off: I defer to the decision made by the
Chairs; having the Chairs call "rough consensus" when there is a lack
of W3C-style consensus is the process the WG agreed to follow.

Editor hat off, company hat off...

I thought we were following the BCPs of "rough consensus" defined in
RFC2418 and RFC7282:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2418#section-3.3
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7282

If the Chairs could share their reasoning, that might help enlighten
the group? Is this a note of a temporary lack of rough consensus, or
is this a final decision?

I share Sam's concerns regarding the external messaging here: "a
perceived gatekeeping of external proof formats by a vc-jwt
minority"... which Christopher touched upon last week. How are we
intending to have a level playing field here?
