[Foundation-l] Photographer IDs

[Geoffrey Plourde]

Because certain museums don't allow freelance photographers. Also if a WN reporter wants to bring a photographer along, they need ID

Wikinews accreditation process for this very same reason. They want to
minimise the risk of exposing the WMF to legal repercussions.

In response to the difficulty faced with Wikinews accreditation, a new
organisation, seperate from the WMF, has been proposed named the
"CollabMediaNet" at ttp://www.collabmedia.net which might be of interest
eventually.

Anyway, to be honest, I'm struggling to think of situations where a Commons
ID would be appropriate. I'll take a look at the thread on the Commons list
though to see if that helps me.
