Assurance

["Lovaas,Steven" <>]

And if a concrete higher-ed example would help, think about common names and 
shared housing. Interestingly, we have zero John Smiths... but we do have 11 
Codys and 11 Kyles. If addresses of record are allowed to be in the residence 
halls (or, say, in an off-campus frat house), it's very imaginable that two 
of these could have the same address. If all we have is the information on 
this list, date of birth may be all we have left to distinguish them (without 
storing actual SSN/driver's license number, rather than merely the type and 
issuer of the proofing documents).

I can tell you from a record duplication prevention point of view that date 
of birth is the most statistically significant of the data elements listed 
below to correctly match a record to the right person.  don't often respond 
the this list, but this is one thing I do know! :)

Subject: [Assurance] Silver registration records and DOB

Hello,

4.2.2.3 of the IAP version 1.1 "REGISTRATION RECORDS" includes

"The record of the facts of registration shall include:
- Identity proofing document types and issuers;
- Full name as shown on the documents;
- Date of birth;
- Current Address of Record"

What is the rationale for including date of birth?

I ask because, as a science virtual organization (LIGO) and not a campus, we 
have no pre-existing relationship with our users that includes the need for a 
date of birth.

Thanks,

Scott
