Step one would be to establish a set of standards that PRISM-Proof tech
would have to meet.

For example a PRISM-Proof email scheme would have to meet the key
generation criteria that I outlined and support S/MIME message format with
some new key discovery mechanism with Certificate Transparency properties
(spec to follow).


The composition of a board to decide on the properties etc. is secondary
since any such set of specs would have to meet the usability criteria and
at least some of the tin foil hat criteria.
