[Openid-specs-ab] Working group last call for proposed OpenID4VP Implementer's Draft

[Michael Jones]

Dear OpenID Connect Working Group,

We would like to get working group consensus that the current OpenID4VP draft is ready to start the Implementer's draft approval process.  Please respond to this e-mail within the next week, by Wednesday, October 30th end of business hours in Pacific Time, saying whether you believe the current draft should proceed or not.

The current OpenID4VP document to be reviewed can be found here: https://openid.github.io/OpenID4VP/openid-4-verifiable-presentations-wg-draft.html.

The details of the Implementer's Draft approval process can be found here: https://openid.net/wg/resources/approving-specifications/.  This e-mail is about the first bullet point on this list, which is sometimes called Working Group Last Call.  Following that, there's a 45-day Foundation-wide review, followed by a 7-day voting period. (The poll itself will actually open 7 days before the end of the Foundation-wide review ends.)  If all goes smoothly, the voting will hopefully start on Monday, 16th December.

As shared on the working group calls, completing this Implementer's Draft process promptly is an important step in obtaining IPR commitments for the specification, thereby enabling the DCP working group to adopt it.  This will allow the DCP WG to hopefully publish a final specification by the end of March for inclusion into the EUDI implementing acts.  We hope to get implementers' feedback on this draft over the next few months so we can continue to perfect the specification before it becomes final.

                                -- Mike (writing as working group chair)

P.S.  Thanks to Joseph Heenan for drafting most of the text above!
