You want resumes? You've got linkedin for that.

The sort of thing Doug describes is actually quite common.

For example, I once had a group chair threaten to have me disciplined by the 
company
I worked for, for pointing out the technical failings of his pet protocol.

The IETF isn't a lovey-dovey bunch of hippies working in harmony for humanity.
The IETF is hardball.

I used the term "Consultant" in RFCs 4645 and 5645, instead of revealing
the name of my company (which was different each time, and neither of
which contributed any time or money to my WG effort). I did this because
the WG at the time included a malicious contributor who had already
contacted the HR department of another contributor's employer, asking
them to professionally discipline the employee, because he had supported
an RFC 3683 PR-action against the first contributor. Full disclosure can
be a dangerous thing.
