Having an IETF identity is OK if all you ever publish is in the IETF. Some of
our participants also publish at other SDOs such as IEEE, W3C, ITU, and quite a
few publish Academic papers. Using the same identifier for all these places
would be useful, and that single identifier is not going to be an @ietf.org
email address.
Then for these unique individuals, a single source id is useful for
them and should be recommended to consolidate contact consistent and
persistent information. People are increasingly doing that now with
what was once alias junk domains, i.e. gmail.com, google+, even
facebook, twitter, etc. I know I have move away from a using a
corporate id in public that are now protected (in spirit) by ADSP and
DKIM. But as a total, don't you think the ietf.org will benefit in
the long run maintaining its own registry?
