Practically speaking, how would such a verification system work? Would it be a specific OTRS queue (similar to the way we get proof that a photo's copyright release is correct) or would it be an email to Cary at the WMF (similar to the way we make sure people with specific tools are over a certain age)? Or, would it be a different thing altogether (e.g. the verification process is via the local chapter who "vouches" for the GLAM)?
