[wg/did] Authorize the group to work on DID-method-related Notes
From https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-charters-review/2023Dec/0003.html (member-visible):
We likewise object to the explicit prohibition of the WG even producing Notes with respect to DID Method specifications. This seems explicitly intended to ensure that there will not be effective interoperability in the DID space, and I still don't understand how you intend to show effective interoperability across implementations. The requirement in Success Criteria, as I've previously commented on, is a good one, and we are not demanding that specific DID methods be released from the WG; but it's concerning to see such antipathy toward standardization of methods, and I'm not sure that that success criteria will be good enough on its own to prove effective interop, when it comes time to take another version of the DID spec to Rec.
This objection was raised on the amended charter proposal following the mediation period: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-charters-review/2023Dec/0000.html (member-visible)
The changes in the amended proposal were introduced to address #431.
