Hi Tom,
Having dealt with an issue in the past concerning the Membership record I can
say that
really depends on the country of residence. At the time I was in Holland and
there an
individual can request access to any record pertaining to them or minors in
their care.
The law there even goes as far as allowing access to the other spouse record if
the
individual is mentioned on it. Note that I say ACCESS, so handing out is not
really the
issue.
How it is here I do not know. I guess it comes down to the privacy policy the
church
has in place for each country ;)

I have heard it called confidential, but for the life of me I can't fathom why.
Maybe like the Social Security number, some people are just touchy about such
things.
On that subject, I recently got a message on MLS pointing out that the
Individual Ordinance Summary is for handing out to a member, but the Membership
record is NOT. But again, for the life of me, I haven't yet discerned any
difference between them. And I certainly can't figure out any moral
justification for keeping information on people that they aren't permitted to
access. Does anybody have any insight on this?

Isn't the MRN confidential information though? That is why I wasn't
storing it or using it.
