[members-discuss] Request to update the SSA - Article 2.2, acceptance of documents

I think RIPE sending the membership documents in a letter, because they 
use it also to verify the address.

You can fake everything, the company papers and all. I dont think the 
RIPE checking this informations in local country registers.

To fake a address is not that easy possible I would say...

There are still many companys they send you a code by letter to verify 
the address.
