The idea of having to give me identity to 7 people I don't know is actually very frightening. I like that it is an option for those who feel safe to use it as I see it contributes to transparency, but it is not an option I would undertake given my particular situation. As someone whose anonymity is the basis for her safety, I do believe the practice of requiring individuals to identify if they are not found to be contributing pre-published materials to be an unnecessary act of control, especially in the data age. I see the value, but I also see it as a dangerous practice and precedent.
