I suggest that the existing procedures are adequate

someone
seems to be trying it on then we can tell them to change their
username
because misleading or disruptive usernames are not allowed. If
they say
that is their real name we block them anyway. No appeals.
But what if it is their real name anyway? What if they fax a copy of
their driver's license and birth certificate to Jimbo and it read "
Jeremy Irons" or "Frank Zappa" or "Christina Applegate". What
then?
Do we say, sorry buddy, we know you've been a contributor for years,
and you're a swell guy, but you gotta change your anme because some
hollywood actor has more rights that you?
I say if you can prove your identity, it's first come first served.
(check out
nissan.com. The guy, Uzi Nissan, registered
nissan.com in
1995, to support his business, nissan computer corporation. Nissan
Motors Corporation of Japan has been suing the living daylights out
of him for 5 years (always denied, rejected, by US courts.))
