I mean, the reference to its previous existence was from 23 years ago. A
lot has changed since 2002. I'm not totally sure the archeology is really
worth it on this one, especially for a non-binding guideline.

thought that was a necessary and good thing?

Bill-

My committee affiliations are not relevant. That being said if I am ever
responding on behalf of one of my committee roles I always make that very
clear.

The information in question is publicly available on the NANOG website. In
fact, you found the link yourself. Any plain reading of that webpage
answered your direct question as to what the current guidance is.

You linked to the currently published mailing list guidelines,
therefore
you have already answered your own question. There is no current
requirement for real names to be used on the mailing list.

You're on the NANOG Moderation Committee? No? Maybe let someone who is
think about it and offer an answer.

Bill Herrin
