Walking into an ITU meeting, I have to show a passport and have a permanent

attendee list. That is true in a wide variety of places.
I think there's actually a slightly different question in there.
Those are not open organizations. The IETF is. I think that
there might be a question about what "open participation" means
and whether or not there's an expectation that participants will
identify themselves, and if so, what the expectations are around
the identity being presented.
