I believe that is the case for all participation in the W3C. Unfortunately, I was not able to join a WG as a private "invited expert" and a different one as a Google representative (in my role as a Google contractor). I think that is a problem at the W3C that they don't allow you to have multiple different forms of representation per person. I even tried with different email addresses and that wasn't allowed either. Silvia.
