Hi Ilario,
I'm not entirely sure what you're meaning. The whole point of the e-mail requirement (we never said they had to be identified *by an email*) was that we are able to contact them. Turning their email functionality on at Wikimedia Commons and/or Flickr would be sufficient. Since 123POI is basically a similar platform as Flickr, it would be just as fine to confirm your email address there. The reason of this rule wasn't to exclude people, but to put the burden of providing contact information on the participant - so that if they have turned email off - we can simply ignore them if we want.

Absolutely, anyway the regulation of Wikimedia Ch says:
"Afin d’être contacté, le participant aura renseigné son adresse de courriel dans ses préférences sur le site Wikimedia Commons"
It means that, if there was an email in Commons, the user would be accepted. The regulation has been published some days after the start of the contest so we may be "flexible", so it means that there should be at least a link to the user in another portal and we can spent some time to contact him, but *at least* the email in Commons or everywhere is a *must* to don't be excluded.
It's important, in my opinion to do it respectful of some other participants who followed the regulation.
