I think the most constructive involvement from ISOC would be to raise this
in the Trust and Identity initiative. Discussions like this raise a
fundamental question "What do we want the Internet trust model/architecture
to be in the next 10 or 20 years?" The SF INET is actually exploring this as
the theme on May 7th.
