Now here's the deal
Against my better judgment, I just approved an "anonymous" comment to this blog. It will be the first, and last anonymous comment of this kind I will allow. And I approved it this time only to set the stage, and memorialize the ground rules for our dialogue going forward.
AAMVA's "Behind the Wheel" is a place where people stand up and speak honestly and openly about what they believe in, not hide behind cliché monikers designed to mask identity.
Like most genuine blogs, we welcome our readers' comments. But keep in mind, this blog was founded upon straight talk. And to ensure a straight talk environment among our readers and posters, we cannot permit anonymity among our posters. It's simply unfair and undermines our balanced forum. No reputable major newspaper would run a "letter to the editor" without a person's full name and signature. The same goes for this blog.
So, dear readers, thank you for reading. And thank you for posting. I hope you continue to read and post. AAMVA wants to engage you in a healthy discussion about highway safety-related issues.
But, in fairness to the other "straight talkers" out there, and in an effort to prohibit pandering and the spread of propaganda, I will not post comments from users who attempt to remain anonymous. There are plenty of other blogs, and even flogs where that is permitted.
Now to the anonymous poster's question. I believe a thoughtful report, like AAMVA's DL/ID Security Framework, that addresses driver's license integrity point by point, and recommends a comprehensive solution, is, by definition, an "analysis." And while the work was completed three years ago, the tenets of that document still hold true today. So if you're truly interested in solutions that will help repair our broken driver's license framework, I encourage you to commit the time to reading this piece.
As for responding to the recently released Real ID rules, I addressed this in the March 1 blog posting. AAMVA, and its members, are reviewing the 168 page document and will be filing comments publicly to the federal docket as allowed during the public comment period. We hope you'll read them!
Until next time, stay safe behind the wheel.
