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.


anonymous participation is incompatible with 5378/3979
