I don't get it.
There is no need to disclose your online identity when registering as
a member of the charity (a company limited by guarantee).
So me [User:LoopZilla] and me "Gordon Joly" are distinct. I have
chosen to link them up, but I didn't need to.
Companies House has no idea that the person who is a director of two
companies (one is a charity) is also [User:LoopZilla] on several
Mediawikis.

We've set things up with exactly this in mind Gordon - to become a
member of the company (to vote at general meetings, become a board
member, pay a pound to any creditors if we are wound up, etc.) you
will need to provide your identity but not any on-line personality. In
the case where you cannot join the company (if you are too young,
won't provide a real identity etc.) you can still be considered a
member of the chapter (and a supporter of WER). It's not necessary to
provide any information about any on-line pseudonyms in either case.
I think the suggestion on this thread is to attempt to find a way for
people to influence the company by having a vote at general meetings
without providing any identity. This is what Alison is discussing.
Cheers,
Andrew
