I would be happy to.

The primary trust model is no-cost, and individual, not 
organizational or corporate, yes.

Timeing is a little hard.  I am a snowbird, but will be in 
town later today for a week.  I get to about two meeting a 
year.  ;)

I see an Installfest Saturday at a venue unknown to the 
calendar [hint hint]:
    http://www.plug.phoenix.az.us/index.php?option=com_extcalendar&Itemid=35&extmode=view&extid=21 
and will stop down, assuming it is not up at Wickenburg, Show 
Low or some such.

I just got a writeup advance link from FedoraNews who 
interiewed me at SCALE.

down as the first part of the Booths section.  I have 
basically ended up as the lead US point of contact for cacert, 
and have 'extra point' granting capability in this regard.

My purpose in doing so would be to 'seed' several assurers in 
the PHX area for CACert.  To most effectively do this, I would 
ask folks review, and if they find appropriate, pre-complete a 
registration, and bring one govt photo and an aditional govt'l 
ID (a DL and a passport come to mind) so that I can verify 
bona fides and assign points.  I'll also bring some paper 
blanks (and a box of the donationware 'Portable Key 
Verification Devices which Oisin mentioned) along as well.

My intention would be to endow regular attendee/officer types 
with substantial points and those PKVD's, so that it would be 
self-perpetuating into the future - my summer LUG has a 
regular part of the meeting devoted to assurances:

similar to PGP/GPG WoT keysignings (another hint hint)
