That's what digital signatures are there for. ExI needs, in this sequence:

1) public key (for any official email communication and document
   and binaries signing, completely zero cost)

2) a Verisign cert (see above, and for the website -- a couple $100/year,
   or so)

3) the power to issue enforcible cease and desists to renegade groups
   (could be expensive, but there are legalpersons about, and I'm just
    an egg)
