[Foundation-l] WMF resolution on access to non-public data passed

[FloNight]

In the United States commonly a notary public  is used to certify the
identity of a person signing forms and supplying identification. So that
might be an option for some people. Otherwise just having them provide ID
and sign a form stating it is valid provides a measure of protection for the
organization.
