Getting in touch - Implementing a renderer method

[pohhendry]

Hi there,

While implementating W3C VC data model 2.0, my product (which is a framework) requires a rendering method. Upon reading that it might be at risk of being removed from the specification, I thought I should reach out to express my organization's support for it.

Wondering what can I do to show the support for this?

Thank you.

Posting here is a great start! Also, voicing your interest and requirements on the Credentials Community Group mailing list and/or the VC WG's mailing list. If you're a W3C member, then attending upcoming VC WG calls would be another excellent place to state your requirements.

You can also add your thoughts to this issue on the VC Data Model repo:
w3c/vc-data-model#1480

Cheers!

@pohhendry don't worry about it "being removed". It's "being reserved" so it can be added in later. The W3C Working Group charters have time limits on them -- we have to get a set of work done in a limited amount of time; everything else gets pushed to the next Working Group cycle. That's what's happening for RenderMethod -- the group is out of time, we are reserving the extension point for RenderMethods, and we will standardize it during the next standardization cycle. That's all we're saying here; the feature/functionality isn't going away.
