While it doesn't make much sense to have a binding rule that says
board member candidates have to reveal their online identity (I'm not
even sure such a rule is legally possible - who is appointed is a
decision for an AGM and a past AGM can't bind a future one), I would
be surprised if anyone that didn't got elected. I certainly wouldn't
vote for someone without knowing who they are in the Wikimedia world.
An AGM can pass a resolution changing the constitution rules on board
election so that in future election candidates have to publicly disclose
their Wikimedia wikis' username. A GM cannot bind a future GM only mean
it can't pass a resolution that a future GM cannot change. Whether you
want such a rule is obviously a different question.
