Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Review Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) (#216)

Just got linked to this item... DID Spec isn't ready for review just yet. I thought we'd raise this w/ the TAG when the spec was ready (we're finalizing the CG version of the spec over the next month or two).

Here's a Primer on DIDs (that should answer some of @tantek's questions):

There are 4 implementations of the spec in progress (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Sovrin, and Veres One). More information on Veres One here that gives more background on why these networks are being created:
