I'M not sure if I can take you by the hand here, but this post of
Michael Daigle triggered my own recent entry to the GSWoT. Maybe it
helps you too. :-)

| The other participation is membership in the Web of Introducers (the
| assurers). When you've earned enough trust, you can make application.
| See our GSWoT Yahoo Group or the home site (in my tagline [1]), or email an
| assurer you know.
