[p2p-research] Fwd: "economic catalyst"

[Samuel Rose]

Dante, can you explain what you mean when you use the word
"accreditation" in the email below. Usually to me "accreditation"
refers to something like what is discussed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accreditation  so I am just trying to
discern what meaning you are giving it in the email you wrote below.
(you've used it in other discussions too, and I am having trouble
catching your meaning)

Thanks!
