Oh I agree the photo is excessive. Never said the whole idea was great, just that the theory of requiring business registration verification or name verification is most likely well intentioned.
What makes the whole thing skeptical and scary is that it is the government asking for this and not a specific registrar's policy.
- bad_user 17y ago> the theory of requiring business registration verification or name verification is most likely well intentioned. But what good will that do? Surely having a verifiable online ID might be useful in collaborating with other people that might need some assurance you're a real person that's accountable for his behavior. But for domains, the only requirement should be as it is now ... that you must give accurate contact information. And asking for an address is too much for me anyway ... since if you're not careful about protecting it, you can become a target for maniacs (I'm still pretty pissed off about what happened to Kathy Sierra, which had the best blog I've ever read). Either way, you won't get rid of spammers, fraudsters or jerkiness.
