I'll be adding tags in the next couple of days for things like bonds, mining etc. to shorten the assets page.
But what I actually had in mind was having 3 different markets (or 3 different market pages) with differing requirements to get into each of them.
The (C) market could be unverified, no accounting records etc. and considered very risky, it would also have the lowest starting fees and maybe a limit on the amount that can be raised.
(B) market would be where most of the good assets currently stand, verified to the current level, but I think providing monthly accounting statements, they'd need to have a running business as well (compared to funds to get a project started). So it would only be a little more effort (I think mostly for the accounting side) for some existing assets to get into this category.
(A) market would have even higher levels of verification than now(background and credit checks), would also require a treasurer to approve the use of funds, provide GAAP accounts and be audited by an external source.
This way an asset could start off in the C market and as they grow (if they're successful) they will be moved to B market and then eventually A market, each step up raising the levels of capital they have access to.
We still wouldn't allow assets that would make GLBSE a target for government regulators/police (i.e. drugs, prostitution).
I actually like this idea a lot, as it has a lot of roots in the actual stock exchanges. As it is right now, wading through the various sketchy securities on GLBSE is tiresome as I look toward actual investments and ideas.
Not to mention bad timing for me as I try to get my IPO off the ground!
