While it doesn't make much sense to have a binding rule that says board member candidates have to reveal their online identity (I'm not even sure such a rule is legally possible - who is appointed is a decision for an AGM and a past AGM can't bind a future one), I would be surprised if anyone that didn't got elected. I certainly wouldn't vote for someone without knowing who they are in the Wikimedia world.
An AGM can pass a resolution changing the constitution rules on board election so that in future election candidates have to publicly disclose their Wikimedia wikis' username. A GM cannot bind a future GM only mean it can't pass a resolution that a future GM cannot change. Whether you want such a rule is obviously a different question.
