That one, yes, very much agree. On identity, I think the question is if they spin out the did:plc directory into whatever ICANN like body they are in talks with, is that a meaningful change or not?

For me, the vast majority of people who care about ownership in some sense will see that as "good enough" and it will also be healthy for the internet in general. So if they do that—and again the other week they came out and announced the talks have entered some kind of a late stage—then did:plc is basically okay in my opinion. Yes still centralised, but I'm cool with ICANN or whoever else being that centre, so for me that's a meaningful move.

I'm guessing you see this ICANN solution as just moving the centralisation around and therefore not so meaningful, doesn't pass the not your keys test.

Anyway not much more to say about that until they complete the move and it's clear how things will look.
