Serious question, to what degree is one defined as being independent? When you have "platinum" sponsors like akamai and cisco, and can take donations through paypal?
- zmmmmm 11y agoThey are a separate legal entity, with multiple independent sources of funding and a diverse range of board members[1]. I'm not sure about degrees of independence, but I would say this satisfies my criteria. Are you arguing they aren't really independent of their sponsors?

- cinquemb 11y agoI wasn't arguing anything just asking a question. But I will say that, without any numbers, its hard for me to say either way. Clearly, RSA was in independent legal entity, but a $x million dollar check didn't stop them from peddling shoddy crypto… though that's not something surprising to hear in this community.
