RE: An assurance question

I may have just answered my own question. See what you all think of
this.

As a GSWoT notary, I sign Bob's key. My key has the GSWoT signature
on it. Bob imports the GSWoT key from a keyserver onto his local
keyring, signs it, and gives it complete trust, 2 deep. From then on,
any key he receives that has the GSWoT key on it, or has been signed
by someone who has the GSWoT signature on their key, will be seen as
valid.

This just hasn't come up for me before now -- so far all I've done
with GSWoT has been to sign keys for other notaries. But I just now
received a request for a signing from "Bob", as noted in my original
question, and I want to make the best of this, to extend the GSWoT in
the process.
