The demand would be significant and could be applied to doctors, professionals, where the transfer of confidential information is a requirement.  The issuing of certificates and the like would need to take place with local verification.  It seems to me that it would promote the use of the internet for the transfer of this information.  While there are curently methods available to enable enhanced security it is not widely used.  The US iniative is aimed at addressing this issue and although I am not sure of origins I would expect that the iniative was not driven by an individual submission.

When you ask what is my agenda? I can only assume that you are attempting to undermine the credibility of my submissions.  I have already indicated that as a solicitor I have an interest in tendering for any legal work from auda.

The fact remains that as a non-profit representative corporation auDA should adopt open and transparent process.  This is a scenario that is applied to government organisations.  

It is well known that politicians frequently avoid questions with a question.  While I am not saying that this is what you are doing the issues exist whatever my agenda as you put it may be.
