I have no idea what Thursday Night Curry is, or when (Thursday night I suppose), or where.. How much earlier would you suggest? I'm a curry fan too, so I might like to go to both as well!<BR>

Yep, I mentioned in the thread that I will only be in Wellington until Sunday, so it will have to be this week for me. But I heard mention that perhaps another get together might happen after I'm gone.<BR>

FWIW, there are proper key signing party protocols, complete with
software, for doing these sorts of things.</I></FONT></PRE>

There is nothing improper about this. From the responses on the list, I don't expect too many people, so I think it can be somewhat informal. But yes, I haven't said anything about how people will get each other's key to actually sign, but that isn't done at the meeting. The important thing at the meeting is that people be convinced that they're talking to a real person with the correct name, and that they have that person's key fingerprint. The rest can happen at each persons' convenience later on.<BR>

Sure. I'll bring my passport, which convinces most authorities.. If it doesn't convince you, then I don't know what to tell you, because in the US I can get any number of other identities once I have a passport, so they can't be considered independent evidence. Of course US passports now have so many holograms on them you can barely make out the picture, so perhaps it is less convincing then blinding nowadays.<BR>
