[address-policy-wg] Post Ident / Post Brief

>> what Richard said: what is good enough for (German) banks to e.g. open an account, should be sufficient for the NCC as well, me thinks.

I have to agree with Sergey. I have been through the hassle of getting 
married to a non-german. For a proof of authenticity of international 
documents they created the Apostille-agreement in the 1960s. It is 
enough for the Germans to accept e.g. a birth certificate from Mexico as 
valid. I could also e.g. request a registration confirmation (that shows 
my name, dob and home address) from the local authorities and then ask 
for an apostille to be glued on the document. It then shows that the 
document is legal and valid. But then, it is required to send by postal 
mail. And on top of that: not all countries joined the Apostille 
agreement and trust it mutually.

Just because some German companies/banks have trust in PostIdent it does 
not mean the RIPE NCC should trust in all types of local stuff.

Cheers!
