Actually the far side of the moon is not dark at all, but it is different from the near side. See The far side of the Moon, photographed by Apollo 16 in 1972. It is much more crater-ridden than the near side of the Moon. Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon.  Not all of the far side of the moon is invisible from earth due to a phenomenon known as libration "In lunar astronomy, libration is the wagging or wavering of the Moon perceived by Earth-bound observers and caused by changes in their perspective. It permits an observer to see slightly different hemispheres of the surface at different times. It is similar in both cause and effect to the changes in the Moon's apparent size due to changes in distance. "

This paper is like the Apollo 8 astronauts who were the first humans to see the far side in person when they orbited the Moon in 1968.  We are just mapping that side of digital identity which we all know is there and contributing to opening up debate and developing robust legal, technical, human experience and governance mechanisms for addressing this problem. e.g. https://privacyinternational.org/advocacy/4945/letter-global-csos-world-bank "We, the undersigned civil society organizations and individuals, urge the World Bank and other international organizations to take immediate steps to cease activities that promote harmful models of digital identification systems (digital ID). "

• Then PEST model of harms with SSI mitigations & potential new harms or exacerbations
• Then framework for understanding harms in digital trust ecosystems
• Potential short/medium long-term activities is an Appendix as a starting point for discussions with other WGs in ToIP and wider digital ID community
• Then Conclusions:
  1. budget attention and resources at every level 
  2. practical do tomorrow steps
     1. examining from the outside and considering the known harms of digital ID systems, include known harms in a risk assessment
     2. people matter - talk about ethics beyond 'value statements' or principles, test the HX not just of customers but also of team members and wider stakeholder communities. 
• Call to action:
  • x-industry harms awareness, transparency and mitigations  - like 'fraud signals' ????
  • ??
• Key Questions?
  
  • ???
• Next Steps
• Vision:  We can use this model to not just address or prevent harms, but to promote goods from digital identity systems, I guess that public goods are the antithesis of human harms
• When technology makes ethical norms possible - just because we couldn't do something before because we had bad tech doesn't mean
• Mitigate harms and magnify benefits
