I applaud the idea of full disclosure and I hope that all web bloggers provide accurate information moving forward. As a university professor, I do some consulting. I am required and in fact there is a university web site open to the public where any company I receive over 5000 dollars in a year is listed. .I have confidentiality agreements with the company and while the information I learn and discuss is confidential, I have to disclose the name of the company,my role (e.g. consultant etc), and time. There is one thing I am not sure I understand and write for clarification. MR states that with an NDA he cannot and/or will not disclose the name of the companies he consults for. Is this a requirement as part of the NDA or is it an individual's choice to disclose or not.
