gTLDs managed

GRS Domains operates the following sixteen gTLDs:

gollark: Your identity server would provide a list of valid keys or something.
gollark: If identities are global, I think it would *also* be good to make it so your client cryptographically signs all your outgoing messages, so servers can't fake you engaging in beeoidal activity.
gollark: A possible issue would be locking up your TCP connection or whatever with big downloads of images, but I guess you'd want a sensible way to offload those *anyway*.
gollark: I think it would probably make sense to make it so that your identity server serves your profile picture, but servers you chat in can cache it for clients and serve it over the chat connection on demand.
gollark: I was envisioning a somewhat more IRC-like thing where you commune directly with each server you want to join.
