Hey Harry,
I'm not sure if ii) *is* easier. Compare the work of verifying members
before every AGM and EGM or merely at the point of joining.
We don't really have formal check on membership at the moment - no
applicant is asked to prove their residency at their address of that they
have provided their real name.
It depends, I suppose, on what kind of check you have in mind. I was
imagining "show us proof of identity" (with a large burden on the
information supplier) rather than a cheap automated check. By "cheap" I
also mean monetarily: it's probably not a good use of WMUK money verifying
the addresses of non-voting members if WMUK is not legally obliged to.
