Hey all,

I don't think it is a simple as "create a market" and "effect vendor
behavior".  Its the details that matter.  Is the detail of not
automatically informing vendor one that is necessary for the market to be
economical to the broker?  Is is a requirement to modify vendor behavior?
Are their downsides to this that preclude this type of market from taking
off and really effecting the industry?

I agree fully -- the details are crucial if we want to align the
market with the general well-being. It is never enough to just "create
a market".

As long as we have broad "ethics" statements condemning _any_ sales of
vulnerability info, it is somewhat hard to talk about the details of a decent
set-up though.

Cheers,
Halvar
