-It's a condition of membership, so if you prefer not to provide ID, that's fine, but we won't be extending you a membership.  We are a private organization, and membership is completely subject whether we want you as a member or not, and we (the membership) choose not to give a key to someone who refuses to trust us with who they legally identified as.  We hope you understand. +Requirements for membership are non-negotiable. If you prefer not to provide ID and a current address, we cannot consider you for membership. ChattLab is a diverse and inclusive member-based organization and we rely on the trust of our members to provide a safe space to work. We hope you understand.
