The specifications DID Core 1.1 and DID Resolution 1.0 are now well underway. He serves as editor of the DID Core and DID Resolution specifications, as well as contributor to multiple DID method specifications.

His activities have been direct and ongoing contributions to the DID Core and DID Resolution specifications, via issues and PRs on relevant Github repos, participation and leadership in conference calls, and various other community interactions.
