[ncc-services-wg] personal data in the NCC

Daniel,

thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, registration services department don't give me a
chance: my customers should provide the IDs or they will not receive the IP resources.

Of course, most of my customers are registered in the Trade Register, but RIPE NCC
requires the photocopy of CEO's ID who is signing the contract.

Great, CEOs of small companies will provide the IDs. But what will happens when I'll
sign the contract with the goverment's IT department? Should I ask for the ID of
prime-minister or deputy prime-minister? OK, not goverment, but the province. Should I ask
for the personal ID of the deputy governor? (this is a public person and the province has
a website)

I understand that the problem is complicated, but I would like to raise up both (local and
global) problems together.
