The idea of personally identifiable information is indeed a sensitive one,
and I recognize that. In fact, I'm a privacy freak myself - when it comes to
commercial entities.
The reason I included it in the recap/call for more brainstorming is simple.
It provides an additional option of verification for people who can't be
verified by any of the other means. It wasn't suggested as a requirement.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough on that point? I wouldn't ever require someone
to send that information if they didn't want to.
I'm for additional options, increasing the possibilities for people to
verify their identities. The underlining thing is - it's just an option (not
a requirement), and a legitimate one, just like all of the others. I'd hate
for it *not* to be an option, and have that be the one thing keeping someone
from being able to participate.
That said, I am still very interested in hearing other possible options to
verify a unique person. I want to encourage participation by having as many
(legit) options available as possible.
