We definitely understand concerns surrounding privacy issues vs security
issues, particularly in the US, and we want to accommodate all attendees
who wish to keep their real names off their badges.  We'll be looking into
security requirements, but, for now, the established status quo of
providing either your real name, user name, or both is still in place. I'm
hoping that doesn't have to change.

Sincerely,

Nicholas Michael Bashour
President
Wikimedia District of Columbia
