Further, it might be useful if you could highlight whether you believe only
countries should have this ability. Can local jurisdictions - such as
states or cities - also be able to set their own rules? Should legal
entities, like corporations, be able to express their wishes as to how
their identity information is represented? What about individuals - should
I be able to request a different name appear in an IV certificate, such as
a name I may be known to my friends as?

Understanding the principles behind your support will no doubt help us
effectively discuss and understand your proposal.

Thanks.
