@Mastodon I think you should encourage some form of server side verification. And maintain a list of servers that have robust verification.
This would allow official institutions to have their own server and announce verification.

@Mastodon Then we would know that all accounts “@usgov.social” are official, at a glance. It would also allow collectives to be built: some journalist open colective, Hollywood celebrities etc. this would bridge the gap - users can easily understand which accounts are official (for public persons) and verification would be managed by their respective communities. So we would have 2 server types: the ones mastodon recognised as having public interest and robust verification any the rest. (2/3)
