I can accept this.
There are several possible verification systems. I think we should use
several, to make it easy for as many people as possible. Ultimately though,
the onus should be on the applicant to prove his/her identity, rather than
the organizers/whoever's managing votes to track them down.
- Buddy system - those who the 4+1 know in person or have spoke with on the
phone can be verified. Those verified individuals can verify others. This
should only go 2 levels deep, IMO.
- LUGNET member number - since the membership is paid, I doubt anyone [1]
has registered twice.
- ID scan with address, and utility bill (I know this one rubbed someone the
wrong way, but it can be _one_ method, not necessarily _the_ method)
I'd steer away from CC billing, simply cause I don't want to hassle with it.
Still open to hear how others feel about this - please share thoughts.
-Tim
