indorsements

 indorsements  is a portmanteau of "IndieWeb Endorsements," coined by at the IndieWebCamp NYC 2016 session of the same name.

revisited the issue at IWC NYC 2018 badges session(https://etherpad.indieweb.org/badges) and wrote a proposal for a workflow for endorsements, badges, and similar assertions(https://david.shanske.com/2018/09/28/thoughts-about-assertion-workflows/)
