In my situation, a good chunk of the WMF staff knows me pretty well,  
I'm spent a (not insignificant) amount of time in their offices, and  
been through some fairly thorough questioning on various topics.  And  
yet, when I needed access to private information for the board  
elections, Cary - who can pick me out of a lineup and knows me  
reasonably well, I think - asked to see my driver's license.

My gut feel and personal experience says that the policy is being  
enforced fairly stringently.
