The Level of Trust is a means to ensure that the person is a genuine, licensed radio amateur. It starts when you first register by verifying your email address, which earns you the lowest level. You then have various easy options, like adding a mobile/cellphone and verifying that to earn a few additional points, you can also verify your postal address (Google style postcard with PIN).

The next stage would be to get your licence and ID verified, this would typically be done by either a physical meeting, if someone is close enough, or (more likely) via a video meeting. The idea is that the more verification processes you go through, the higher your level of trust. So when you apply for resources all the verification is already in place. This is especially important for BGP requests as it currently takes some time to go through that process.

The ultimate goal would be to become a verifier yourself and help verify others - It’s the same model as the CA-Cert Web Of Trust.

Thanks for sharing this work with the community.

Reading through it, some thoughts and questions come up:
- I'm delighted to see that accessibility and WCAG is considered.
- What is the intent of the Level Of Trust value? Is this about allowing some centralized administrative actions, or does this represent something that community members can earn and level up?
- In addition to GDPR compliance considerations, you might also consider California's similar CCPA.
- What is the intention of requiring maidenhead locators? I'm mostly just curious how the information gets used, though I suspect it would be useful to map country-granularity call signs to actual geographic areas where the subnets are assigned.

In general, this seems like a really straightforward list of requirements that all make sense in context.
Looking forward to experimenting and trying out something new.

Cheers and 73,

Hello 44Net!

For quite some time, y'all have heard rumblings of a new portal, which
Chris has been working on bit by bit. Realizing that it's likely a
larger project than we initially thought, earlier this year the TAC took
on the task of writing a feature requirements document. This has been
the bulk of their work this year so far, and I'm really proud of the
results, which were completed just a couple weeks ago.

I'm writing on behalf of the TAC to share this document with you and to
request comments and comments:

https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/2022-09-Portal-Features-Requirements-Doc.pdf

Ideally, please share your thoughts in this channel rather than emailing
directly, though of course we will read any feedback you send. Pierre,
the TAC Chair, will be watching the list and answering any questions
that may come up.

Note that this document is a feature requirements document - which
outlines the features that the portal needs to have before it's
considered "done." By definition, it's *not* an engineering document;
we've purposefully not specified the exact technology we'll use to build
this out. We have, however, specified that it will be released as an
open source project as soon as we have a functional version, likely
without all features present. Ultimately this will be a project managed
by our new Director of Technology (who starts on Monday; will introduce
after he starts) and the team he assembles to carry out the build. Thus,
information like timelines, project plans, and database specifications,
etc., will follow his review of this document and any comments from this
group.

And with that, I say - happy reading! And thank you so much for your
thoughts and questions.

Looking forward,
Rosy
