Assurance

["Roy, Nicholas S" <>]

Isn't that what the PESC IdP effort that Nate K and Ann were/are involved 
with is all about?  I thought they were talking about giving anyone who took 
a college entrance exam LoA2 credentials they could use to apply for 
financial aid, etc.?

Perhaps InCommon could try to provide identities to K-12?  Then these kids 
could use these identities the rest of their lives.

I assume the purpose is "use an identity you have now and are comfortable 
with". I do not dispute that most people are very happy using Google to do 
this.

I don't think it's possible to really do that top-down, but to the extent 
that federation with a lot of options is ruled out, then creating an 
artificial option that people like me could choose is at least better than 
nothing, yes.
