Which it was not. But the spirit of that rule is, quoting the guidelines: serve to help validate the identity and trustworthiness of the person since they will be given access to potentially sensitive information. I think given that Lars is well known to pretty much all of us and obviously a trustworthy member of the community we can waive that particular requirement, so although I'm wary of setting a precedent: +1.
