As to the comment that the identities of the clean room team should be known to only a few individuals. Let me say that the identities of the clean room team should be known to only ONE person other than the team. That one person's function would be to convey the results to the "dirty room" team with no additional comments. His/her job would be strictly limited to forwarding the results.
There is an obvious flaw in the notion of ONE person being the only one to know the identities of the clean room people. Any node without backup is subject to catastrophic failure. Care and caution need to be exercised in managing the blind structure of the linkage between clean and dirty teams, and unless clean tem members are to be given the identity of one or more dirty team members (thus tainting the isolation model) the entire project could be jeopardized by the accidental incapacitation of one person.
