I am not familiar with the specifics of this case but in the internet world
pseudonyms is very common.
I agree that in a standard setting body hiding identities isn't a good practice
and I would recommend to that the WG chair or the IESG Area Director will have
the authority to ask for the identity of a member. We don't have to invoke that
but it could be an addition to RFC 3683.
