<h2>
0. Preliminaries
</h2>
<p>
This sub-policy extends the Assurance Policy ("AP") by providing a framework for members to verify their identity via Trusted Verification Provider ("TVP"s) including Government Authorities, Certification Authorities and Commercial Identity Providers, under the supervision of the Assurance Officer ("AO").
</p>
<p>
Successful completion of the process defined in RVP sub-policies shall result in the allocation of up to 50 points depending on level of trust in the TVP and the verification process.
</p>
<h2>

</h2>
<p>
This sub-policy is available to all members.
</p>
<h2>
