Re: [AGENDA] W3C Credentials CG Call Tue, August 7th, 12 noon ET, 9 AM PT

Dear Christopher, Linus and All,

Thanks for setting up this interesting discussion.  I would like to put it
in a slightly broader context, not to sidetrack it, but as background for a
possible future discussion.

I think there is a need for at least three types of Distributed Identities:

1. Anonymous
2. Pseudonymous (unique)
3. Public (unique and honest)

Who needs a Public DID?  For start, the 2Bn+ users of Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, LinkedIn...who are now locked into using a proprietary and
centralized form of a Public Identity.
For a general discussion of the need for Public Identities, see Tim
Berners-Lee recent piece
<https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/PublicIdentity.html>.
For a discussion of their need in the context of e-democracy, see my recent
piece <https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2018/8/229759-point/pdf>.

I am looking forward to the discussion today on Pseudonymous DIDs, and hope
to have in the future a discussion of Public DIDs.

Best regards,
Udi
