Deprecation/Removal: ID verification as a cert requirement

Good afternoon!

The team is currently in the process of attempting to remove IDV as a gate for certificate generation in the edx-platform while also providing a way for the community to maintain this feature.

Currently, the edx-platform supports certificates that are not in the “downloadable” status. These statuses include “unverified”, “notpassing”, and “unavailable”. These statuses exists within the platform solely to aid our support team when working with certificate support issues.

My question to you is: do you rely on the “unverified” certificate status? If we were to remove the concept of an “unverified” certificate, would this be an issue for you?

Please let me know.

Thank you!
