Vladimir Dzhuvinov:

In explicit registration the OP returns an entity statement to the RP where the RP is the subject and the metadata policy is used to compose the final client registration JSON object.

According to the entity statement spec the `jwks` claim is required, but in this particular use of the statement - to return the client information to the RP, it’s not really needed since it’s the RPs own data.
