The anonymity question

2010-07-24 20:47:51
John Levine asked:

Some people have argued that it should be possible to participate in some or 
all IETF processes while remaining partly or completely anonymous.  Is this a 
reasonable expectation?

No. Anonymous or pseudonymous contributions would allow a scumbag
patent troll to inject ideas into a standard for which s/he held
an undisclosed patent. I don't see how we can draw a line between
that and other types of contribution.
