I was thinking more in terms of mandating that if I'm a member of
OpenSolarisARC, this seems to mandate that I must get the OpenSolarisARC
e-mail at alan.coopersmith at sun.com, and not my gmail account or home domain.

Are you assuming non-Sun ARC members will have e-mail addresses like ours
which will reveal their identity? To someone trying to find out who the
ARC members are, how would knowing that nrubsig at gisburn.org (I know that's
not the e-mail address he uses, but he could) is subscribed to arc-members
help them figure out that Roland Mainz is an ARC member?
