Hi Mark,

There are many names for an authorization server with a fiduciary relationship to one individual. The hard thing is bringing standards to market that will be adopted. 

Much of the energy is still focused on the false hope of data brokerage. Brokers have split responsibility to multiple parties. Brokers see themselves as “making” a market. There’s nothing wrong with that but, in practice, the brokers want to grab the role of authorization server and undermine the fiduciary principle and the standards that enable that.

Hi Adrian, 

In 2005 I wrote a paper called the Master Controller Access Framework for people to have an operator that operated on their behalf.  

It seems to me, all these years later that this might be a missing element in the agent discourse - as an agent, operator, and wallet are all missing that power dynamic that you are getting at (IMO) 

What’d ya think?  Master Controller Agent or Operator, Controlling Agent,  etc.  Puts people at the top of the hierarchy and clearly identifies liability ? .

This invite is being cross-posted to other lists. Feel free to share with folks that might be specifically interested or email me with suggested others as we want to avoid spamming the same lists.
