Well, the openness process can't go over the law ;-)

As said the solution is probably to tell the people that their details will be 
disclosed, before they register.

Hi,

Despite that it has been commented in this list some time ago, I still
see that the list of attendees is open, and there is no option, when
registering to indicate if you want to be there or not ?

I don't really mind myself, but we should have this option, at least this
is my understanding from data protection laws all around the world.

There's a reverse consideration here - the availability of the public 
record of who attended meetings is an important part of the openness of the 
standards process.

Would *you* believe that a standard had been arrived at through a fair and 
open process in an indiviual-participation process where you're told that 
you can't see who the participants were?

We did remove the email addresses from the list....
