[gnso-irtp-b-jun09] Identifcation

["Matt Mansell" <matt.mansell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I've just been listening to last week's call in prep for tomorrow's.
Apologies were sent but not noted. I wanted to add my thoughts re
identification. 

I personally think it's a mute point. If a bad actor wants to commit
fraud in stealing a name he is equally more than capable of providing
faked identify. We see plenty of it as I'm sure everyone does and its
increasingly hard to spot.

Essentially, without some sort of in-person, original documents process
(Like applying for a Birth Certificate or Passport in the UK) I don't
see how this can add any value, especially in digital form. We must
remember that the receiving registrar will by virtue of fraudulent
c/card data have the best checks they can already to verify the identify
of their account holder. No registrar wants to unduly incur the costs of
handling a chargeback or potential un-recoverable product costs. To put
any liability on the registrar or registry to identify a transferee
further will not reduce theft, particularly high value theft.

Rgds, Matt
