[Wikimedia-l] Is it time for a Global Username Policy that is similar to Global Rename Policy?

Hi, I have observed that there is a global renaming policy but a global username policy is absent? As we all know that usernames are global following SUL, and literally the same username will be used across multiple wikis. So, a very simple question is raised: shall there be a draft of the global

Perhaps it is the buoyancy and resilience at large wikis (in terms of participants' nationality and political tenancy) that seem to shade the importance of UCoC. The problem at other languages of Wikipedia where the language is used primarily at only one or free country, the need quickly surfaces
