Members should have an opt-in way to allow their name and city/country to be listed, with optionally their employer. But this should not imply I care much about privacy either way (since pretending such a thing exists online is a fantasy).<br><br>This is not the same for those wishing to contribute to an actual specification. There should be no anonymity or privacy in that process. Standards work requires IPR policies, which in turn require you sign some sort of a license. If you are employed (or otherwise do not control your IP), you must disclose it and that information must be made public to anyone asking for it. It is reasonable to hide your personal home address when publishing such documents online, but since these are legal documents, must be provided unchanged to those who make an official request for them.<br><br>Personally, I will not allow you to contribute anonymously to any specification I am the editor of. This does not meet my requirement for worthwhile and legally sound participation.<br><br>I cannot imagine any reason for you to hide behind an alias. So to answer your original question about anonymity in the foundation, yes, I would tell such people their contribution isn't welcome.<br><br>EHL</span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
