Unfortunately, I'm spread a bit too thin between the Web Payments and
Credentials stuff in the technical standardization initiatives and won't
be able to participate in this years UN Internet Governance Forum.

Look out for Pindar Wong and Primavera De Filippi, as I think they
intend to do something related around blockchain at IGF.

You may also want to link up with James Dailey at the Gates Foundation
and their work on financial services for the poor.

I've cc'ed each of these people, please link up offline if you can.

Yes, please, and let us know if this group (or the Credentials Community
Group) can help in any way.
