Absolutely, particularly since I might well be looking at the screen or
keyboard as I am typing rather than the person at the mic and recognizing folk
by the sound of their voice requires braincells that tend to be committed to
keeping up with the discussion.

Speaking as a frequent scribe, I consider it good manners for
speakers to identify themselves, even if they are well known.

According to wikipedia, a policy wonk is someone
knowledgeable about
and fascinated by details of government policy and programs
If that is derogatory then I'm sorry.
It carries a derogatory connotation.
IMO it is accurate to say there are many people in the
IETF that fit
this description.
And I don't dispute that. I just don't think it's appropriate to
apply that description to people who say "XXX, tell us your name!"
the third time someone gets up to the mic without saying
their name.
I find it rather annoying to listen to the constant interruptions,
reminding people of the process. The only reasons for such an
interruption are:
1) it is very important to you that detailed and accurate minutes
record every "he said, she said" comment made at the microphone
2) you plan to base your opinion of the imminent comment on either
who says it or more likely, what company they work for
In either case, the interruption is not adding value to the
technical
discussion.
