I think easiest solution for Fred is to first ask the author to remove your name and immediately submit a new version. If it does not work, go to the WG chairs. The chairs will certainly get them remove your name. I think it would be outrageous to ask every author's approval at the submission time. The system already informs every author of the submission and asks for approval. So you know that somebody is using your name if that is the case. Regards, Behcet
