Re: [Webauthn-reg-review] Request to add payment extension to WebAuthn Registry

Hi Giri,

I expect the specification to become a Candidate Recommendation the second week of June. I do not have a sense of when the final Recommendation will be published. 

While a Candidate Recommendation may still change it is "a document that satisfies the technical requirements of the Working Group that produced it and their dependencies, and has already received wide review.” [1]. There will be a “this version” URI for the publication, and that dated version of the specification
will remain unchanged.

Thank you,
Ian

After discussion with the Web Authentication Working Group [4] we would like to register this extension in the WebAuthn Extension Identifiers registry [5], following the procedures defined in section 2.2.1 (Registering Extension Identifiers [6]) of RFC 8809 [7].
