[pp.int.general] European citizens' Initiative - ID requirement & data retention

[P. Maechler]

No, the place of residence is not enough for verification; you just  
need a phone book (they become less regular, but still are). In  
Switzerland the verification is primary based on the birthdate; it's  
hard to get that data, although Facebook & co may have simplified that  
to a certain extend.
