I think that based on the way the law is going, all sponsors should provide the docs. It's that simple. If they provided us with the docs, there wouldn't be a problem. It is the only solution that will work.

I know that in the past month, I've emailed several of my sponsors asking if they would provide docs and ID's, and those that did reply told me to link to their 2257 page (which doesn't get me any closer to being compliant).
Could some sponsor/affiliate representatives who are reading this possibly make a few statements about whether or not they have some contingency plans? Are any of you willing to, or preparing to issue the necessary documents to your affiliates should they be required after May 1st? I'd really love to hear from them.
