I'd love to get their thoughts about the remote proofing approaches on the I2 wikispaces - I talked a bit with Chad Sharp from Iowa and Steve Kurncz from MSU about this, but they had mentioned the possibility of getting some more detailed feedback at their upcoming meeting.

Remote-Proofing Approaches

1.  Remote identity proofing -- from Nick Roy of Iowa -- as far as I can tell institutions are not able to do remote identity proofing as described in the IAP (checking a combination of government ID numbers and financial account numbers obtained through credit bureaus or similar databases).  Two alternate methods have been proposed: a)  the person to be verified can appear in person with the appropriate documents and a form and have the verification confirmed by a notary public near where they live; the notarized form would serve as proof of the verification event;  b) The identity documents could be verified remotely using some kind of videoconferencing technology.  See https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/InCAssurance/Remote-Proofing+Approaches

Remote-Proofing Approaches

Do the auditors think either or both of these methods can be asserted as equivalent to the approach the IAP describes?  What are the issues?
