So you're treating this as a birth registration. So instead of thinking up a whole new system we can implement this as an improvement of the current birth registration system. This way we have much of the design in place and we will then need to tweak some things to suite us better. We could even call this as computerization of the current birth registration system.
This is not going to be about the technology per say. But whole development can be done in FOSS style to ensure the transperancy, participation of diverse views and opinions and speed of the development and resilience of the model.
True, but we do need something that requires minimal user intervention to protect them from temselves in many ways. And the FOSS way is definitely THE best way for such an effort because I guess there are going to be many "BIG BROTHER" concerns over this.
