Internet anonymity/pseudonymity meeting invitation
by jbash-nymip-dec2000-meeting＠velvet.com 27 Nov '00

27 Nov '00

The NymIP Research Group will hold its first physical meeting on Sunday, December 10, 2000, from 14:30 US/Pacific (22:30 UCT) to 17:00 US/Pacific (01:00 UCT December 11), before the IETF meeting in San Diego, California. We invite interested parties to attend, either in person or by telephone. The NymIP-RG is a newly formed entity dedicated to studying anonymity and pseudonymity in Internet communication. The RG's goals are to develop better understanding of the technology of controlled nymity, to solve some of the unsolved problems, and eventually to bring the effort to the point where open implementation and standardization can begin. The NymIP-RG is part of a larger effort called the "NymIP effort", whose goals extend through standardization, development of open reference implementations, and eventual broad deployment. More information is at <http://nymip.sourceforge.net>. We expect that the NymIP-RG will apply for a charter from the IRTF, and that future NymIP standardization work, if any, will be done in the IETF, but these decisions have not been finalized. This first meeting is a brief, relatively unstructured get-to-know-you affair, designed to identify those interested and start them talking to one another. There is no real technical program beyond an introduction to the problem. Future meetings will presumably have more structure and more technical content. Most of the group's work will be conducted over e-mail, rather than in meetings. To get the exact location and/or telephone number information, please send e-mail to jbash-nymip-dec2000-meeting(a)velvet.com. Please include information about the number of people you expect will be coming in your party or calling in from your location, so that we can plan resources accordingly. Early responses will help us to plan better. If you plan to attend by telephone, please do NOT plan to have multiple attendees using a speaker phone. Having more than one speaker phone on a conference bridge usually leads to problems. We'd rather provide more bridge ports than have people using speaker phones. We apologize for the late notice, and recognize that it will be hard for many people to attend in person. We'll try to do better in the future. You may have been blind-copied on this message to prevent your e-mail address from falling into the hands of spammers. If you don't see any lists you're on in the headers, that's probably the reason. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone you feel may have a serious interest in this area. -- J. Bashinski Secretary, NymIP-RG

And Katherine Harris bumped the piece. ---- Our resident racist prosecutor & fantasy killer Tim May wrote: # I notice you're babbling about what's on "60 Minutes" There are some overachievers who can babble in only one sentence, not I. It takes me several. Our resident racist prosecutor & fantasy killer Tim May wrote: # ...but not saying a peep about the certification # of the election in Bush's favor. Peep. Pooh. Pregnant chad. Too bad. It ain't over, but Gore's looking had. What a scream, those thousands of black votes invalidated because the people getting out the vote told them to punch each page, invalidating them. Double punch hole, no peace. We. Ourselves. Fleeced. ---- What do you think would happen if Gore eventually became prez? Who would the few armed "blood in the streets" nutters shoot? ---- Our resident racist prosecutor & fantasy killer Tim May wrote: # Now that an incoming Republican Administration will be able to # prosecute Bill for his various crimes, Oh! Now who wants to keep having trials until you get the result you want? What tunnel vision.

CDR: Gore's new strategy.
by James A. Donald 26 Nov '00

26 Nov '00

We have had a partial recount in certain selected districts. This failed to change the outcome. So now Gore seeks a full recount. If that fails to change the outcome, he will probably call for another selective recount. If that fails to change the outcome, then another full recount with different rules for the chads. If that fails to change the outcome .... Since the result is smaller than the margin of error, if you keep doing it over and over and over and over with different rules each time, Gore is sure to get lucky sooner or later. Then it will be a confrontation between the Florida executive, and the Florida judiciary.

Gadhafi advises US power sharing Sunday, 26 November 2000 16:09 (ET) Gadhafi advises US power sharing By SADEK al-TARHUNI TRIPOLI, Libya, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi has advised the United States to split the presidency between Democrat candidate Al Gore and Republican George Bush in order to avoid "a civil war." Gadhafi, in an interview with an Italian television station to be broadcast in the coming days, said loosing the logjammed U.S. presidential election was "a complicated problem." "For U.S. to avoid a civil war, power should be split between the presidential candidates," he said. "In case Bush wins, Al Gore could be his deputy and vice-versa." Qadhafi said: "I advised the American friends to announce this now since this would lead to solving the problem, meaning that the one who wins more votes will be President and the one with less votes will be deputy president." The Libyan leader reiterated that he does not believe in elections but only in "direct popular democracy, meaning that people rule themselves." He described the present democracy in the world as "fabricated democracy" asking how "40 per cent of the people can accept a person they did not elect?" Gadhafi said there was "no difference between Bush and Gore," saying the problem "lies in the Congress and the imperialist circles." He said President Clinton was " a nice man but he could not do much for his people because they implicated him in dangerous cases." He accused the Congress of "ignoring the world and fighting a country without knowing its location," saying: "I am sure the Congress does not know where Kosovo, Libya or Kuwait are located." Gahdafi said if the Americans take his advice, both Democrats and Republicans will be in power and both have "interests to be in the White House."

the other scenerio that some certification agencies have expressed (i.e. licensing bureaus, bbb, consumer report, etc operations) is that in the online world ... that they would provide an online service .... rather than certificates designed for an offline world. the online website provides a superior experience, real-time information, and a better binding between the certification agencies and the relying parties (i.e. current use of certificates totally disintermediate the certification authorities and the relying parties .... except in the scenerio where the certification authority and the relying party are the same ... in which case the certificates are redundant and superfulous). in the shopping experience trust establishment ... trust can be established in a variety of ways, brand, advertisement, word-of-mouth, previous experience, etc. certification trust is just one of the many ways of establishing various kinds of trust. however, any certification trust in the online environment could be better provided by online certification delivery vehicle ... rather than an offline (certificate) vehicle (which disintermediates the certification agency and the relying party).
