Hi everyone, FYI, my company is working with the UPU, a UN agency that handles inter-postal operator collaborations, and they have expressed interest in DIDs and VCs. I can't say more until all the approvals are in place (compliance for intergovernmental agencies is quite complex), but there are international postal addressing standards in place, such as the S42 standard <http://www.upu.int/en/activities/addressing/s42-standard.html> for physical addressing. There is also work ongoing - like the UPU's S68 and DeutschePost's POSTIDENT standards - that propose international standards for identity and trust data. I'll be able to talk more about all of this shortly, which will likely have a significant impact on the DID initiative. There are a lot of moving parts. Anyway, I can talk some about this effort off the record during the Prague workshop.
