Re: The strong silent type
I'm pleased to hear that there are counter-examples. But most people get no notification. We await GDS's GOV.UK Notify.
We await also their GOV.UK Verify (RIP), which is supposed to provide adequate proof that we are who we claim to be. Which is what the EROs need.
Of course, if GOV.UK Verify (RIP) worked, we wouldn't need the EROs. We wouldn't even need to register to vote. GDS could decide our entitlement to vote for us using attribute exchange and all the non-existent open data registers which support the non-existent GaaP, government as a platform.
All we would need to do is vote.
Or would we? Could GDS use data science to work out for us what we should vote?
Soon we won't be needed at all. GDS can cater to all our user needs.
