Mark -
Just a voice of support. I agree with your position on how
an accreditation system must be run. One quibble:
"* It must be affordable, so as to not amount to a barrier
to entry to micro business owners, while at the same time,
there must be sufficient penalties for non-performance,
such that folks won't want to break the rules. "
I'd s/micro-business owners//g . "Vanity" domain owners
(gods, how I hate that term...I bought my domains to
provide myself with a persistent identity, not to satisfy
my vanity) would have to pay as well. If such an
accreditation system could be brought into play in a manner
such that individuals could participate, it'd be wonderful.
Appreciate your pointing this issue out.
You seem to grok the idea that the stick to be wielded with
an accreditation system is not monetary cost, but exclusion
from participation (and other real-world penalties).
Thanks.
Mark, subject to your guidance, may I contact you through
the GOSSiP mailing list in the near future to discuss how
best to proceed on using GOSSiP with an accreditation
service?
