Much you argued about IETF standardization process but still acting in your own 
and not standardization interest as you are in breach of RFC 8874. As you did 
major change in a draft, you need the consensus before creating new stage for 
alleged comments (see RFC 8874). IETF process does not foresee to follow the 
personal interests of editors and technology needs

Recommend your withdraw your draft, otherwise formal appeal to IETF chair will 
follow. Congruent with standardization process in IETF it`s essential you come 
back to international standardization work, withdraw your draft and start 
discussion about deletion of DID again.

As mentioned: Otherwise formal appeal to IETF chair will follow.

Much has been made in this thread about consensus and the publication of 
drafts. Despite some apparent misunderstandings here, Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) 
are in fact a foundational component of the IETF’s consensus building and 
standards development process. Congruent with that process, I would suggest 
that those advocating for treatment of W3C's DIDs in the IETF write an 
Internet-Draft and utilize that as a vehicle for input into the standards 
process.

Daniel,

I looked at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7282, and I don't think 
it's appropriate to declare "rough consensus" in this case.

There have been a significant number of people who articulated many concrete 
arguments why it would be a bad idea to drop DID support.

The editors didn't consider or address any of those arguments, or provide 
meaningful counter-arguments.
Instead they dismissed substantive arguments as "general advocacy for the 
wonders of DIDs", they labeled DIDs as "stuff that doesn't work anyway", they 
declared that "there were no real objections other than DIDs are great", and 
called the issue "tiresome".
Many of the editors' comments on this topic were passive aggressive, 
provocative, dismissive.

PR 251 was created with a deceptive title, without description, and without 
reference to the issue where the discussion was taking place, in an obvious 
attempt to mislead contributors, and to avoid attention and discussion.
After merging against objections, other related issues were quickly closed as 
"overcome by events".

In order to not just provide a one-sided perspective, as a DID supporter, I can 
actually understand concerns about DIDs in SD-JWT VC being underspecified (we 
can help address that), and in fact I have also seen good arguments why it may 
indeed make sense to move DID support into a separate specification (e.g. in 
this comment 
https://github.com/openid/OpenID4VP/issues/278#issuecomment-2422455336).

But the way how this topic has been handled and dismissed is not okay.

To say "drafts can be changed any time" is a weak excuse for this behavior, and 
to try to find rough consensus on a mailing list AFTER a change has been made 
is not okay either.

To say "nothing breaks, because it's all extensible and you can define your own 
profile" may or may not be true, but certainly doesn't justify making arbitrary 
changes despite objections.

The PR should be reverted, and corresponding issues re-opened, until consensus 
has been achieved, in order to avoid further damage to this work.

Steffen,

I am surprised and somewhat startled by the tone in your message. My message to 
this list was clearly intended to find the rough consensus that is missing - 
that's why I pointed to the two threads of discussions - and not to ignore the 
usual IETF processes.

great work! Looking at [1] and [2] there`s obviously no consensus – which

Standards Process.
These are strong accusations. I presume you're referring to RFC 
2026<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2026>? How would Sections 5 and 
9.2 apply here, even remotely?

An assumption is great but not sufficient as in any standardization body.

Again, finding this consensus is precisely what my previous message intended. 
Maybe this got lost in translation.
According to IETF rules the consensus shall be ensured before announcement of 
new version.

In my understanding and experience in this group, draft versions are just that 
- drafts. They can be changed at any time and this can include reverting 
previous changes if the working group comes to the conclusion that that is 
required. A new draft version can be the trigger to start a discussion to find 
rough consensus on a specific topic.

As far as I know, there is no part in the IETF rules that says that consensus 
on any change must be ensured before publication of a new draft version.
 The profiling you suggest is technically the worst solution as it leads 
directly to additional effort to ensure interoperability between fundamental 
standard and its profiles and extend complexity unnecessarily. Means the 
inclusion of DID in SD-JWT-VC shall be discussed with the relevant experts such 
as Markus Sabadello, Alen Horvat etc. Decision making based on actual consensus 
not assumed one.
As above - this discussion is exactly what I wanted to trigger. It needs to 
happen here on this list. If the outcome is that the DID references should be 
preserved, we'll do so.

 Formal appeal acc. Section 6.5 of IETF Directives on Internet Standards 
Process will follow in case the IETF directives will still be ignored.

Ok.

Hi all,

we are happy to announce version -06 of SD-JWT VC. In this release, we're 
updating the media type from application/vc+sd-jwt to application/dc+sd-jwt 
(for background, see Brian's excellent summary at the IETF meeting last week 
[0]).

This version also removes references to DIDs in the specification, while 
leaving the door open for those who want to define a profile of SD-JWT VC using 
DIDs. The previously provided text on DIDs was underspecified and therefore not 
helpful, and a more complete specification would exceed the scope of this 
document while interoperability issues would remain. We think that those 
ecosystems wanting to use DIDs are best served by defining a profile for doing 
so.

We would like to point out that there are concerns about this step raised both 
in the respective issue [1] and in the pull request [2]. While it is our 
understanding from various discussions that there is a consensus for the 
removal of the references to DIDs in the group, this change had not been 
discussed here on the mailing list before. So we'd like to take this 
opportunity to do that now.

As a minor point, this version adds the “Status” field for the well-known URI 
registration per IANA early review.

-Daniel
