I would assume most GLO Rec forms ask for the Rec writer's personal info. The reasoning is fairly simple.
1. To make sure the author is in fact an initiated member of the GLO and not some perp. (Every org is different, but for mine we only need the initiation year and not the actual date.)
2. To make sure the author is still a member in good standing. (I have seen Recs written by women whose membership had been cancelled. I have also seen legacy claims that turned out mom's membership was cancelled.)
3. A chapter should send thank you notes to all Rec writers, thus the need for the author addresses.
Semi-side Note: Wouldn't it be nice to have an Inat'l online Rec form that would not only send an electronic copy to the chapter in question, but would also do the member in good standing verification, & update the Inat'l membership contact info data base?
