  The big question
 
No, I'm not getting married. ;-) All of this LDraw standards and organization talk has gotten me thinking...about LDraw.org and it's mission, if you will. So I'd like to throw out a question: What do you think LDraw.org's role is in the LDraw/LEGO (...) (21 years ago, 26-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Indeed. 50K a head may be a little much though. (putting my clowning around suit on) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Maybe we want dues so we can have official LDraw.org server, that won't be down weeks at a time. (putting my flame resistant suit on.) Kevin (...) vote. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) Good point, Orion! Now we get to the meat. Sending in a paper ID photocopy and utility bill gives a high degree of certainty of a real person behind the ID but is pretty intrusive. (as well as labor intensive at the receiving end). Allowing (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Whoa boy, backup. We not voting in a world leader to determine the lives of millions, we're voting on LSC membership. Since most people balk at even giving out their real name and Email address, I think this is a little extreme. -Orion (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) That could be one (not the only) verification method. Another could be sending in a scan of a drivers' license/gov. ID card and utility bill, like PayPal does to confirm identities. -Tim (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) nod, good point. (...) well, while I do trust the Lugnet auth to insure that you can't post as me, I don't see how it verifies that I'm a real person, as opposed to a part of Jennifer's imagination... (...) I'm not as worried about people (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Don't forget we don't need just ONE scheme. There can be several, and you use the scheme you are most comfortable with as a prospective member. For instance: (just a thought starter) Could piggyback off something else... have a complex scheme (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) not sure I see where this is any better than requiring a valid email address? where valid means you actually have to get your password when it's mailed to that email. The problem is, that it's really easy to get many email accounts. Inventing (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Perhaps a voter confirmation email sent when a vote is cast, similar to how LUGNET authenticates posts? So, voting could be done via the web, but in order to confirm, you would also have to reply to an email. Just another idea... -Tim (21 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
