I'm going to try to keep this operational, but it's hard because you're going to find that support for making a robust keyserver network hinges upon people agreeing that such a service is needed, and many PGP users are going to tell you that such a keyserver violates the PGP trust model.
Hm? These words have been misattributed to me. I don't see any reason why the PGP trust model would be compromised by a keyserver network since the individual PGP user is checking keys and deciding which keys to trust. I welcome further conversation re:ISP-run keyservers on the keyserver-folks list, but I hope to see further coordination re: a NANOG keysigning party on this list. cheers, Kristen

Oops, was that my fault? Shawn McMahon <smcmahon@eiv.com> is the person quoted there.

You are absolutely correct.

Again, I would be willing to organize this. I have done keysignings of various sizes before, and each time it gets a little smoother. Phil Z. and I have been talking about methods of making large-scale keysignings happen more efficiently, and I would love the chance to see if our ideas will improve things. - --Len. __ L.
