[OR13]

I think the dates are a terrible idea, and we should close this issue and not implement this resolution... github tracks dates for us.

[OR13]

we should resolve not to do this, and close the issue.

6.5. DID Method Registration Resolution #2 on 2021-03-16 (issue did-spec-registries#271)

See github issue did-spec-registries#271.

Orie Steele: Similar scenario, this was about status and dates
… We can do status with labels, not sure what to do about dates
… Either we need new proposals for handling dates, or decide that we will not implement the resolution

Manu Sporny: We have a resolution for first registered date, and last reviewed date

Brent Zundel: Seemed like a good idea at that time

Manu Sporny: Not sure if this is very useful

Drummond Reed: I still think "first registered" is a good idea, but "last reviewed" doesn't seem to make sense

Markus Sabadello: This can be reconstructed from Git history?

Ted Thibodeau Jr.: This is also overtaken by events.
… We registered DID methods before we had even finalized the requirements for DID methods.

Orie Steele: We should just use Git, and resolve to not implement this resolution

Joe Andrieu: The link that people click on may not be the one that was reviewed (unless we use hashlinks)

Brent Zundel: There was a lot of conversation on liveness, and how up-to-date DID methods are.

Proposed resolution: We are not going to add dates in a table to the DID Registry (Brent Zundel)
