Is it so that the bitcoinfoundation wants your real name if you want to become a member:

Quote
To promote transparency and enforce fair voting procedures, we require a real name and address for Individual members. We will eventually include address and name verification procedures. Please note that member dues paid to records that do not include a real name and mailable address will not be refunded. Thank you!

Fact 1.: Once you've entered your personal information with their site, you don't know who will have access to your personal information, and there's no privacy statement on their page.

Fact 2.: If their server ever get's compromized, your private data may be released in the wild, painting you as a bitcoin user for the entire Internet to see. Some people may be fine with this, others not - and then the solution may be not to sign up..
