Two purposes for Blue Sheets: 1. Redundant data entry: Quite often, the name is illegible, while the e-mail is legible. We don't care about the e-mail address, what we really care about is who was there. IMHO, this is the important use for capturing the e-mail address.
2. Legal issues: When the inevitable patent dispute happens, we WILL get served to report who was in the room when a particular subject was discussed. Other standards bodies have had this problem, if we haven't had it, it means our time is near :-( On 4/3/08 4:22 PM, "Mark Andrews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> All, >> >> We are considering changing the meeting Blue Sheet by eliminating the >> need to enter an email address to avoid spam concerns. >> >> Is there any good reason to retain that info bit? >> >> Ray >> _______________________________________________ >> IETF mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf > > It's is the only unique token on the blue sheets.
