Here's what the @EU_Commission should do ASAP:

- Set up a public service a la #LetsEncrypt so we all can secure our servers with a certificate authority that is located in and under the rules of the EU.

- Set up an OSO (Open Standards Office) that defines the Open Standards that MUST be used by EU projects, complete with validators and reference implementations and community involvement.

I'll add more over time :)

@jwildeboer @EU_Commission Let's add: "and support not only servers but also people" to the first one. Personal X.509 certificates would allow for easy E-Mail-Encryption using S/MIME which is currently a expensive PITA.

@adlerweb @jwildeboer @EU_Commission Actually, I'd prefer work on enabling an alternative to mail. Even S/MIME mail is shit (no forward secrecy, a lot of metadata, limited e2e, lacking key rotation, ...).

I'd like to see someone build #federation around #Zulip and optionally add some E2E like #Signal 's #doubleratchet encryption onto it.

Build a bridge from and to legacy mail and then phase out each mail system one by one.
