FYI > Begin forwarded message: > > From: IETF Chair <[email protected]> > Subject: Registration for remote participation > Date: May 9, 2017 at 12:01:19 PM PDT > To: IETF Discussion <[email protected]> > Reply-To: IETF Discussion <[email protected]> > > For remote participants at IETF meetings, registration is currently optional. > Remote participants may join a session at an IETF meeting by entering any > name or pseudonym of their choice into the current form used for logging in > to MeetEcho. > > The IESG is soliciting community feedback on a proposal to require > registration for remote participants at IETF meetings. The objective of > requiring registration for real-time remote participation is to provide > better data to the IETF community and leadership about the size and make-up > of the remote participant base. As remote participation grows, having more > reliable remote participation data will allow the service to be better > tailored to those using it and the community as a whole, and will help us > understand the potential impact of remote participation on in-person > participation. We understand that even with required registration the data > collected will not be perfect, complete, or unspoofable, but we believe it > would provide a more credible basis for analysis than the data available > today. > > The proposal is as follows: > > Remote participants would be required to register (for free) by providing the > information below (* denotes required fields). Registration would be > mandatory to access MeetEcho sessions in real time and to join the remote mic > queue during a session. > > Title > First / Given Name* > Last / Family Name* > Company / Organization > ISO 3166 Country of Residence* > Email* > Gender > Have you attended an IETF meeting in person before? > Have you attended an IETF meeting remotely before? > > Upon registering, participants would be issued a registration ID, just as > they are today. > > To join a session, participants would be asked to input the registration ID. > The same email-based facility that is currently available to retrieve a > forgotten registration ID would continue to be available. The cookie-based > “Remember me” option would also still be available. The only difference from > how login works today is that the option to "Join without registration ID" > would be removed. Other options for authentication (leveraging a user-chosen > password or datatracker credentials) might be explored further in the future. > > Remote participation registration data would be stored and secured by AMS and > MeetEcho just as it is currently today. As is the case now, no registration > or login would be required to access MeetEcho recordings, audio recordings, > YouTube videos, or jabber rooms. And no changes are being proposed as to the > handling of virtual blue sheets. > > We'd like to hear from the community about this proposal. Please send > comments to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, or exceptionally to > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, preferably by May 30, 2017. > > Thanks, > The IESG > >
