I'm not privvy to that discussion, but I'd expect that "[...] that does not unduly exclude valuable volunteers" is also an implicit requirement of any identification method considered. Even if you /could/ develop a mechanism by which we had safe and reliable identification of functionnaries, it'd be worthless if most (or even just many) of the volunteers we had were unable to avail themselves of it because of social or geographical constraints. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
