+The Working Group is expecting all of the terms and URLs supplied in the
+JSON-LD Context to be either stabilized, or removed, before the publication of
+this specification as a Proposed Recommendation. While that means that this
+specification could be delayed if dependencies such as [[?VC-DATA-INTEGRITY]],
+[[?VC-JOSE-COSE]], SD-JWT, [[?VC-JSON-SCHEMA-2023]], or status list
+do not enter the Proposed Recommendation phase around the same time frame, the
+Working Group is prepared to remove the dependencies if an undue burden is
+placed on transitioning to the Recommendation phase. This is a calculated
+risk that the Working Group is taking and has a mitigation strategy in place
+to ensure the timely transition of this specification to a Recommendation.
