There are a variety of approaches we are considering as regards this :

1. moving independently of the centralized CAs is great but still brings the initial trust issues

2. trusting the traditional CAs also exposes the same trust base

3. self verification of icert is also a viable option as that helps cement its credibility and reliability without traditional CAs

Community feedback is still very much appreciated on these
