If you click the "why do we want to know this" on page 2 of the registration screen it says:

Why do you want to know my affiliations and background?

<% $s->{niceName} %> uses affiliation and background information to maintain a balance between a focus on professional academic <% lc $SUBJECT %> and accessibility to all interested parties. This information helps to determine which submitted papers will be displayed under the default "professional authors only" filter (this requires a doctorate in <% lc $SUBJECT %> or relevant publications), and it helps to determine posting privileges in the forums (posting is unlimited for<% lc $SUBJECT %> faculty/PhDs and graduate students and restricted for others). Please be honest. The information is easy to check.

There is no obligation to enter affiliation and background information. If you enter this information, you can keep the information private by adjusting privacy settings if you choose. Even if you're not planning to submit papers or take part in discussion forums, though, we encourage you to submit the information to provide a rounded picture of who is using <% $s->{niceName} %>.
