The real name of all Trustees will be publically available from the Charity Commission website (see for instance http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showtrustees.asp?Ch...) and from Companies House for payment of £1. Incidentally the latter will also show up your date of birth, residential address and other directorships. Wikimedia UK could, however, decide whether the wikimedia username corresponding to that individual is publically disclosed - it's currently asked as a "voluntary question".
After some cursory digging, only ScribblewikiLover's real name is not readily available.
In terms of the cross-tabulation, this is what I've come up with:
1. Tango (Thomas Michael Dalton per candidate questions) (I presume the same as "Thomas Dalton" from this list) 2. Cfp (Tom Holden per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Cfp) (I presume Tom Holden from this list) 3. Skenmy (Paul Roy Williams per candidate qs) (I presume Paul Williams from this list) 4. KTC (Kwan Ting Chan per candidate statements) (I presume Kwan Ting Chan from this list) 5. Kate (River Tarnell per candidate statements) (I presume River Tarnell from this list) 6. Mike Peel (Mike Peel per http://mikepeel.net/site/Main_Page) (I presume Michael Peel from this list) 7. Cormaggio (Cormac Lawler per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Cormaggio) * 8. Warofdreams (Michael Conn per candidate qs) 9. AndrewRT (Andrew Turvey per candidate qs) (Andrew Turvey from this list) 10. ScribblewikiLover (name not known) *
* indicates hasn't signed the declaration.
Numbers are only now 1 no-name and 2 no-declaration.

Dear Election Committee,
I note that the following people have been listed as candidates whose
nominations were received before the close:
1. Tango 2. Cfp 3. Skenmy 4. KTC 5. Kate 6. Mike Peel 7. Cormaggio 8. Warofdreams 9. Andrew Turvey 10. ScribblewikiLoverCan you please make a statement about what youintend to do regarding those candidates who have not signed the declaration (3 people) and those who have not stated their full name (3 people).
Do we have any kind of indication as to who these usernames correspond to? On the mailing list, for instance, most people use either different nicknames or they use their real names. I would like, if only for my personal use, some sort of list to correlate between the two. In WMUK2.0, what is the policy on making public the real names of board members?

Thank you for your digging.
I'd like to make a comment about the need for someone to do this. Before doing so, please let me stress that I am speaking froma *purely personal perspective* (i.e. I'm not suggesting others should necessarily follow my lead on this). I make the comment for the benefit of potential board members who may think my position is reasonable and therefore might want to take action.
I am unlikley to vote in favour of someone who does not clearly identify who they are (in real life) as I want to do some background checking on individuals experience.
I am unlikely to vote in favour of someone who can't follow the simple requirements placed on nominees in the wiki page.
I am unlikely to vote in favour of someone who has not provided a clear statement as to why I should vote for them.
