Remind the Verifiers of the deadline for their vote #41

Open SergioArbarviro opened 8 months ago

SergioArbarviro commented 8 months ago

The Verifiers may forget about their duty to vote on time.

I propose that, at a date that is ({date_end_vote} - {notice_time_verifiers} days), AlirPunkto sends an e-mail to the Verifiers that have not yet voted with a reminder to do so before the deadline.

The variable {notice_time_verifiers} is a positive integer defined as variables in the code, whose value can be easily accessed to and modified by the system administrator (e.g. in a configuration file).

The initial default values for this variable would be:

This process is supported by e-mails to provide the needed information. The text of the e-mail is adapted from the ADMIN_PREREGISTRATION message of KuneAgi, available here:

SUBJECT = Reminder - Please contribute to verify a new registration on the {novaideo_title} platform

MESSAGE = Dear {recipient_first_name},

As you may remember, you have been randomly selected by the {novaideo_title} platfom to act as a Verifier, whose task is to verify the identity of a person that has just registered on line.

At each new registration on the {novaideo_title} platfom, the system randomly selects three existing members, and requests them to verify the identity of the newly registered person. Indeed, it is important to check that each natural person is related to one member on the platform and to one only, and that his/her citizenship is among those of the Member States of the European Union. Thereby, we avoid that a given natural person vote several times on the platform under several different pseudonyms, and ensure that we represent the interests of citizens of the European Union only.

In order to perform this verification of this person's identity, you just need to follow the following steps:

  1. you have received on {date_confirmation_Applicant_ready} an e-mail from the person that has just registered on the platform. The e-mail address of this person, from which s/he sent you his/her e-mail, is {subject_email}. This e-mail contained :

    • either a scan of an official identity document. For security reasons, we advise the person who has just registered to hide his/her place of birth, number of ID document and signature when scanning: the copy will be deliberately incomplete;
    • or an invitation to a short video conference meeting (date, time, login link) in which the person will show you his/her identity document so that you can read its content.
  2. You respond, if applicable, to the person by specifying which of the three proposed dates and times is most convenient for you for the videoconference meeting, and you participate in the meeting on the day and at the time specified.

  3. Once you have held the videoconference meeting, or at the latest on {date_end_vote}, access the following URL: {subject_url}. On this page, you will decide whether the Identity Data received from this person (which will be displayed on the page and is reproduced below) match those present on the official identity document, a copy of which you have received by e-mail or that you have seen during the video conference meeting. Be very careful! In order for you to accept the registration, ALL elements must be strictly IDENTICAL between the Identity Data received upon registration, and those on the official identity document. In all other cases, even with a single, minor difference, if you doubt the authenticity of the official identity document, or if you have held a meeting by video conference by {date_end_vote}, you MUST refuse the registration.

  4. Once you have performed this operation, and whatever its outcome, we kindly request that you destroy, if applicable, from your computer all copies you may have of the official identity document that you have received from the newly registered person, and that you report to him/her about this destruction, by sending him/her an e-mail at {subject_email}.

The Identity Data received from the person upon his/her registration is the following:

Family name(s): {subject_last_name} Given name(s): {subject_first_name} Date of birth: {birth_date} Citizenship: {citizenship}

The Verification process must be completed on or before {date_end_vote}. Beyond this date, the Verification process will be closed, and your decision will not be taken into account. By default, if no Verifier has voted upon this date, the registration will be refused.

Kind regards,

The {novaideo_title} platform.

In order to take into account the suppression of the verification mode using videoconference meeting, and with the purpose of being more convincing, the text of the reminder e-mail should now be the following. The text {between braces} represents variables in the software, and should be replaced by the appropriate name of the variable :

SUBJECT = Reminder - Please contribute to verify a new registration on the ${domain_name} platform

MESSAGE = Dear {$PSEUDONYM},

As you may remember, you have been randomly selected by the ${domain_name} platfom to act as a Verifier, whose task is to verify the identity of a person that has just registered on line. To our knowledge, you have not voted yet. Please do so at the following URL: {subject_url}, on or before {date_end_vote}.

For your convenience, here is a reminder of the process of verification of the identity data of a newly registered person.

At each new registration on the ${domain_name} platfom, the system randomly selects {$NUMBER_VERIFIERS} existing members, and requests them to verify the identity of the newly registered person. Indeed, it is important to check that each natural person is related to one member on the platform and to one only, that his/her citizenship is among those of the Member States of the European Union, and that s/he has reached the age of majority (18 years). Thereby, we avoid that a given natural person vote several times on the platform under several different pseudonyms, and ensure that we represent the interests of citizens of the European Union only.

In order to perform this verification of this person's identity, you just need to follow the following steps:

  1. you have received on {date_confirmation_Applicant_ready} an e-mail from the person that has just registered on the platform. The e-mail address of this person, from which s/he sent you his/her e-mail, is {subject_email}. This e-mail contained a scan of an official identity document. For security reasons, we advise the person who has just registered to hide his/her place of birth, number of ID document and signature when scanning: the copy will be deliberately incomplete;
  2. at the latest on {date_end_vote}, access the following URL: {subject_url}. On this page, you will decide whether the Identity Data received from this person (which will be displayed on the page and is reproduced below) match those present on the official identity document, a copy of which you have received by e-mail.

The Identity Data received from the person upon his/her registration, which is also displayed on the voting page, is the following:

The Verification process must be completed on or before {date_end_vote}. Beyond this date, the Verification process will be closed, and your decision will not be taken into account. By default, if no Verifier has voted upon this date, the registration will be refused. Every new member is a blessing and an opportunity for {$domain_name}! We must be grateful of the effort and the courage of every person joining us. Please support that effort and goodwill on his/her side by voting swiftly at the following URL: {subject_url}, and in any case on or before {date_end_vote}!

We thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards.

The ${domain_name} platform.
