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.
Could we consider other well established forms of trust does as
something signed via a valid LOTW certificate, maybe an pre-existing
Echolink validation, etc?
