I think we really need the actual threat and threat model detailed.

Expanding the identification policy without a thorough grounding risks

I have no objection in principle to providing my identification to
WMF. But the rationale needs to be bulletproof. What's it for, what
verification is used, how to deal with documents from countries that
are not like the US ... this is all important and needs to be laid out
in full and explicit detail. It really hasn't been so far.
