Hi Steffen,

Thank you for your interest in this work. You've made some strong
statements, particularly regarding IETF procedures and norms—especially for
what appears to be your second ever
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?as=1&email_list=&end_date=2024-11-14&q=text%3A%28Schwalm%29&qdr=c&start_date=1234-11-10>
contribution to an IETF mailing list. It seems there may be some
misunderstandings or perhaps something lost in translation. With that in
mind, I’ve made an effort to clarify a few points inline below (though this
is not an exhaustive list).

Gauging working group consensus, even rough consensus, is not an easy task.
Despite the accusations levied here, the document editors take that task
very seriously. It is necessarily subjective. And involves considerably
more than github.

Assuming you mean RFC 2026, which has a similar but distinctly different
title. It's a bit unusual to imply a breach of RFC 2026 like that. Section
1.2 is part of the introduction and seems like an awkward thing to breach.
Section 5 is about the Best Current Practice RFC subseries, which isn't
even remotely applicable to anything at question here. Section 9.2 is about
exclusions from the variance procedure and seems similarly unrelated to the
topic at hand.

That is entirely incorrect. Drafts are an integral part of the IETF consensus
process.

That is an opinion offered as fact. And a rather tenuous opinion at that.
In my opinion anyway.

I am not entirely sure what that means, to be honest. But I am reasonably
sure it's not based on anything real. I'd suggest that the relevant experts
and DID proponents write a draft <https://authors.ietf.org/en/home> that
describes DID usage with SD-JWT VC (or base SD-JWT or even at the general
JWT/JOSE layer) with language that's sufficient for interoperability. That
work could then be brought forward for consideration as part of the
consensus-building process.

I am unable to find a document titled "IETF Directives on Internet
Standards Process" so I'll again assume you mean RFC 2026 here. In my
reading of Section 6.5 of RFC 2026 The Internet Standards Process --
Revision 3, the appeal process isn't really intended for challenging
discrete revisions of a WG draft. While your threat has been noted, and I
assure you that it has been noted, before pursuing it, you might first want
to carefully consider the applicability of such action to the matter at
hand and the impact on the time and energy of those required to evaluate
it. I can't speak for IETF leadership (WG chairs, ADs/IESG, IAB, etc.), of
course, but I know that I don't typically appreciate having my time wasted by
what appear to be frivolous misunderstandings.
