Hi Michael,

Just to confirm four FFmpeg developers saw Vittorio in New York today and
confirm he is a genuine human.

It's interesting you want Vittorio to comply with KYC when you say "What is
kyc? Its a tool that makes you give out your real ID, while criminals
give out a forged ID card."

So if I understand correctly, you would like Vittorio to be verified but
you don't need verification with the community?

Regards,
Kieran Kunhya
