It seems like you're not understanding the point that I'm making.

It *doesn't matter* if you met someone who calls themselves Kevin at some meeting.

Or if you see that someone named Kevin has an RFC to their name.

That (1) doesn't prove that you're not talking to someone with an alias, and (2) is not sufficient accountability for a co-chair of an organization like this (IMO).

I sent that proposal to multiple IETF mailing lists over a week ago. You can have a look at the discussions that have taken place so far about it here:
