Hi, Just a friendly note: terms like “very far-right” are sensitive in Europe; accusing people/ideas/project of being far-right, or implying that EU is far-right can be offensive. Best, Nikos From: Michael Herman (Trusted Digital Web) <mwherman@parallelspace.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 6:35 PM To: public-credentials (public-credentials@w3.org) <public-credentials@w3.org> Subject: Webcast: Norstella & DIN talks about European digital identity wallet (just finished) The webcast Norstella & DIN talks about the European digital identity wallet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87bwwKKSWis) just finished. Unfortunately, IMO, this initiative is a very good example of a very far-right centralizationist approach to digital identity and credentials (https://hyperonomy.com/2021/02/10/is-the-social-evolution-model-harmful/) …and, as an EU initiative, IMO I believe it’s not likely to change. That being said, I think it’s instructive and valuable to watch this 1-hour webcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87bwwKKSWis) and to form your own opinions. About 30 people attended the original broadcast. Here is a list of some of the questions/comments I posed. A highlight of the webcast is that most were presented and considered/answered by the panel. Thank you. My List of Questions/Comments Michael Herman Are you actually authenticating the values of the attributes? ...or perhaps, more accurately, are you simply providing for the verifiability of the digital container/envelope for the attribute data? Michael Herman How will a corner grocery store or convenience store or other small business be able to self-issue credentials? Michael Herman Does the scope of what can be stored in the wallet include verifiable business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, waybills, and delivery confirmations? Michael Herman If the attribute data being provided is part of my personal data (data I own and control), how do I as a person get paid? Michael Herman Comment: Sounds very much like a centralizationist directed project. Very unfortunate.
