Dinesh a humble request. Can you or someone summarize the discussion so far ? Points that have been noted , concerns that have been addressed, tasks that have been completetd ?
1st let me correct the nomenclature of the system. The existing name has lead to some misunderstanding.
We will call this system "Citizen Identification/Information System". This name should make clear that this System is for the purpose of Identifying a citizen and providing information ABOUT a citizen of country, so as to make sure that the person so identified can prove his/her bonafied citizenship of this country.
So far we have two distinct opinion emerging from this discussion.
- Those who are for this system has given following reasons for
having the system.
A. Increased internal security of the state and citizens B. To enable the e-governance C. Remove the hassles of multiple identity D.
- Those who are against this system has given following reasons
for not thing such system.
A. Fear of Police/Big Brother state B. Identity Theft C. Lose of privacy, liberty and freedom. D.
D. Misuse by vested commersial interests E. Skeweing of services like insurance, admissions, medical, travel etc.
So far following items are suggested to be collect for establishing the Identity
- Date and Place of Birth
- Name of the Mother/Father/Guardian
- Birth Mark(s)
- Finger Prints
Please remove. It is trivial to spoof.
