As far as the IETF is concerned, this is a matter entirely between the 
contributor (always an individual) and his sponsoring organization (if any).

We do not require that participants supply proof of their relationship 
with their sponsors, any more than we require documentation of who their 
sponsor (at any moment) is.

As far as I can tell....
