Just wanted to note this comment for reference:

As per 2023-06-21 agreement:
https://github.com/solid/specification/blob/main/meetings/2023-06-21.md#add-webid-to-dependencies
, we have @bblfish (as WebID CG Chair) to signal "go ahead" and @pchampin
to merge PR.

https://github.com/solid/solid-wg-charter/pull/40#issuecomment-1606281290

Let's ensure that we come to decisions as a group, between now and the
webid handover, if the solid WG is approved.
