Also, this work lets us model and participate in the kinds of Internet governance we want. We can demonstrate this as evidence in public policy discussions around governance of the Internet.

Identity (Persona / PICL)

We have established a conceptual and technical framework for identity online, which is a recurring issue in policy discussions and proposed legislation.
