Information Card Foundation
In June 2008 an independent non-profit organization, Information Card Foundation (ICF), was created. The ICF consists of Steering Community board members and Steering Business board members.[1] Some of the businesses include Equifax, Google, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle Corporation and PayPal. The foundation created the Information Card, which is a digital identification card to prove who you are.[2] The purpose of the Information Card is to supply certified proof of who you are to online merchants or businesses, and to aid in identity protection for the user.[3]
Notes
gollark: <@261243340752814085> Put them in a bunch of chests and use artillery on them. Place them and shoot them. Use them as walls. Put them round a biter nest and nuke the whole thing. Just place them somewhere random where they won't do anything. Be creative!
gollark: Hold right click on them <@261243340752814085>.
gollark: Delete what, buildings?
gollark: Anyway, extra magic "genericish" methods are not a replacement for actual generics.
gollark: You are basically implementing weak typing, slowly, poorly and unsafely. I'm okay with somewhat weak typing but don't mix it with strong typing.
