on-behalf-of is a great idea. I would work on something like this, but i would like to see it expanded so that the thing transferred did not need to be $. I did this with a stock transfer just recently. This would fit that.
Great use case Tom! I was just using the transfer of money as an example. I agree there are many other useful use cases that can take advantage of this pattern.
EU Delegation of Powers
Regarding delegation of powers, this is a production system using Verifiable Credentials restricted to the B2B domain: only organisations, legal representatives and employees (or contractors) acting on behalf of the organisation: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/identity-organisations-employees-dome-marketplace-verifiable-ruiz-qogzf/
The general problem of delegation of powers is very complex, especially when natural persons are involved in cross-border use-cases, where different governments may have different rules for what can be delegated, how it must be done, and even the semantics and legal implications of seemingly identical delegations.
Inside a given country, many EU countries have centralised systems for delegation of powers. For example, in Spain the "Electronic Power of Attorney Registry" enables any citizen or business owner to remotely create and register a delegation of power to access any combination of the 8.000 different online services provided by the public administrations in Spain (https://sede.administracion.gob.es/PAG_Sede/ServiciosElectronicos/RegistroElectronicoDeApoderamientos.html).
The problem is that it is not interoperable with other similar registries in countries like Netherlands, France or Italy.
