I've thought about this a bit myself. It could be a publicly-funded service or simply a non-profit trust, but simply having a text based namespace, and links to where all other data are stored would be a massive benefit. https://internetid.gov/personname https://internetid.gov/personname id -> https://mycurrentISP.com/iddata/personname https://mycurrentISP.com/iddata/personname healthdata -> https://mycurrentinsurer/personname https://mycurrentinsurer/personname photos -> https://apple.com/icloud/photos/personname https://apple.com/icloud/photos/personname Whatever, but the idea is the Eternal Home Page can be mostly(only?) pointers to records and then the authentication and authorization can change and exist in the private market. The Eternal Home Page can implement some auth as well. Setup a trust, charge/tax/fee enough to always provide the hosting and security, that's it. For now, everyone should at least manage a personal web page of their own to keep the dream alive. Anyway, legal and financial aspects are what will make it permanent, not technology (though it can help!).
