meeting summary

Good discussion today, ranging over several topics around the agenda 
items.  We didn't really scribe it, but instead agreed to share the 
machine transcription (with all its errors - it should be ready soon) 
and to make the video recording available to known & active participants 
who missed this meeting.  If that's you, let me know and I'll share it 
with you.  You can treat it like a podcast.

Also, here are the points that stuck out the most for me:

* Creating an ecosystem of claim sightings

   - Various things one might do in this space are intermixed and folks
     on the call weren't always thinking of the same things

   - It would be nice for end-users to be able to request that
     particular claims appearing in a story be fact-checked, or that
     the fact-checks be linked if already done.  Perhaps users could
     vote for this fact-checking with money.

   - Media outlets might participate in this and help bootstrap it
     (focusing early critical mass).  It would parallel the comment
     system.  Maybe coordinate with coralproject to try it out.

   - People would be more likely to request fact checks if they could
     see others and see theirs shared and were told how it fed into
     IFCN.  On the other hand, verification-requested could become a new
     kind of hostile comment or attack on the media.  Is Wikipedia's
     "Citation Needed" hostile?

   - It would be nice to see all the fact checks of a particular claim
     together, and it would help assess the quality of fact checking,
     and perhaps improve their trustworthiness.

* Creating an ecosystem of securely identified publishers (see unmasking)

   - It would help to have verified identities behind websites that
     want to be more credible, but we want it to be decentralized

   - AP membership could serve as a useful trust indicator for media 
outlets, and
     is an example of one more verification service

   - It would be nice if end-users and platforms had an easy and secure way
     to view the certificates/memberships of a site (something that's much
     more secure than the site choosing to put the logo on their page)

Hoping this is useful,
