In Seattle, we are going to try to replace the single/long/tedious PGP 
key-signing event on Monday evening (which invariably clashes with the 
NSP-SEC BOF, or with dinner, or with sleep, or with accidental loss of 
sobriety) with a series of small key-signing parties, held in the last 
10-15 minutes of every break on Monday and Tuesday.

The thinking behind this will be described in a brief presentation on 
Monday morning. More details can be found here:

   <http://www.nanog.org/pgp.abley.html>

Briefly, if you would like to participate:

1. Paste your public key into the convenient form at 
<http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=2230>, and

2. Visit the terminal room during one of the meeting breaks, armed with 
a pen, photo ID and a trusted copy of your PGP key fingerprint.

I'll be printing out one set of fingerprint sheets per day, so make 
sure your key is submitted the day before the key signing party you 
plan to attend.

If you don't know much about PGP, and you'd like to participate, try to 
plan to attend a key signing party on Monday in order to get a feel for 
what is going on -- it should then be straightforward to hook up with 
someone who can help you install/configure PGP software, and you can 
then plan to attend one of the key-signing parties the following day.

I will attend all the parties, and will sign every key I can verify, 
and will hence act as a trust-bridge between individual key signing 
parties. It would be excellent if one or two other people who have 
enthusiasm for useful PGP deployment could find the time to do the 
same. Drop me a note off-list if you're interested in helping out.
