Part of what we strive for is transparency in governmental dealings.
This should extend to political parties in general. If you can't even
be transparant enough to reveal your name when on a party board, then
you're unlikely to work for it. There is a clear line, privacy for
people, up until they run for office, either elected office, or office
of a group running for elected office. At which point, you have
decided to lose some of your privacy, for transparancy. You can't have
it both ways, but that point, and that switch over is something YOU
decide, yourself, and is not imposed elsewhere. Thus I feel it's a
good compromise.
