STATEMENT of Rob van Kranenburg:

"Designing trust is currenly key in both online and offline  
environments.
This presupposes that the need for this design of trust is articulated
somewhere and has roots. The roots lie in the iniatial architectures  
which
somehow have caused this distrust, unease, and worry. Most
designing-trust- applications do not address this deeper problem, but  
try
to reinstall faith in these architectures that are at the heart of the
matter. What we need is a radical break up of instutional players in the
field of data and information towards solely local voices linking  
them up
globally through meshnetworked protocols, staying very close at each  
step
to the source. Thus we can take out all organizational layers (state,
corporates, stockholders, billionaires owning tv stations) that have
become obsolote and harmful in a networked world."
