Context

- With the rise of the W3C program on Decentralized Identifiers, there is a need for the Identity Ecosystem to coordinate with other teams developing this technology.

Problems
- The current work of the Decentralized Identifiers has proceed with little concern for how it might integrate with existing Identity Ecosystems.
- Self-issued Identifiers of all types depend on secret values held by the user in portable protected storage, for example a smartphone or WebAuthn key.
- If the user's hardware device is stolen or disable, the recover of the user's identifier can be a challenge which could turn into a UX nightmare if not handled well.
- In particular the SIOP program has been developing standards which look a lot like the DIA and other work in the Kantara work groups without any coordination.
