Interesting that the announcement includes long lists of "testimonials" from W3C members and from "industry", but there are some glaring omissions. Why no endorsement from Apple, Microsoft, Google, or Mozilla? Even smaller players like Opera and Brave are missing.

- merb 4y agowell google did not outright reject, they said, it's not complete and the final should wait until the methods are implemented and used in practice (like most stuff is done nowadays)
- PretzelPirate 4y agoIt is confusing because Microsoft works on Decentralized Identity and would almost certainly have wanted to be involved with this.
- jceb81 4y agoMicrosoft already has their own Decentralized Identity products in place. Check out https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/solutions/decentralized-identity https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/solutions/... They are and were also actively involved in the creation of standards and tooling, e.g. the did:ion sidetree-based DID method was created by them.
