The NymIP Research Group will hold its first physical meeting on Sunday, December 10, 2000, from 14:30 US/Pacific (22:30 UCT) to 17:00 US/Pacific (01:00 UCT December 11), before the IETF meeting in San Diego, California. We invite interested parties to attend, either in person or by telephone.
The NymIP-RG is a newly formed entity dedicated to studying anonymity and pseudonymity in Internet communication. [...]
This first meeting is a brief, relatively unstructured get-to-know-you affair, designed to identify those interested and start them talking to one another. [...] -- J. Bashinski Secretary, NymIP-RG
Does anyone besides me find irony in having a 'get-to-know-you' session for a group studying anonymity? Will they allow masked attendees? Will the mailng list allow posts from anonymous remailers, or is it closed? Is there a website to allow anonymous reading? Practice what you preach....

Pseudonymity as well, isn't it?

Old habits are, unfortunately, hard to break.

The Bay Area Cypherpunks Meetings have had visitors such as "Lucky Green", "Black Unicorn", "Lawrence from Boulder", "Ogre", "John Doe #3", multiple "Tim May"s and Detweilers, "Hey You", and people who either didn't mention their names or gave plausible-sounding names that didn't trigger the "obvious pseudonym" test. Some of those people have used other names at the meeting as well; it was quite a while before Lucky decided to let his other well-known name overlap into Cypherpunks namespace, and Black Unicorn has used several names in various contexts.
