Agreed. One person, one SSN. :-).

Sure. This is raised in the document Daniel submitted. I just raised two
additional things:
- people already having a INIC-handle
- some people occur in the RIPE Data Base more than once

If we feel this is outside the scope of the proposal, let's quit the
issue. My personal opinion is that we need to address this as well.
