I need to write a spec but it'll work loosely in this way:
1) The Foundation acts as the token authority and creates a token with a unique ID and associated dollar value of credit.
2) The token is given to a user.
3) The user signs up to a participating public cloud provider and supplie their unique code.
4) The public cloud provider queries some Authority API on openstack.org (maybe public-cloud-passport.openstack.org/tokens) for validation of the token.
5) The Authority API validates the token and returns whether the token is valid and includes the dollar value of the credit.
6) The public cloud provider, armed with this information, decides to honour the token and submits a new request to the Authority API to cash in the token.
7) The Authority API returns a unique approval code and marks the token as spent.
8) The public cloud provider does whatever tech process is necessary to credit the user's account.
