Re: respect privacy please !

Hi Harald,

I'm not expert in legal stuff, but I think the European regulations (at least 
in Spain because I needed to learn this in order to host web sites with any 
kind of registration or list of people and comply with the law), there is no 
difference in publishing it before, during or after. Just can't be published 
w/o the consent of the participant.

From a practical point of view, probably is good to do what John suggested, 
but alternatively also publishing only after the meetings will be a good 
protection for example to avoid a thief go to your home when you're in the 
IETF, as I recall somebody suggested was already happening in UK.

I don't think a legal requirement for our process can jump over the laws. Is 
like if we decide that we need to sacrifice one of us in every meeting to sign 
the minutes with human blood, while we know that killing some one is forbidden. 
Yes I know ... is a quite exaggerated example, but some times is the best way 
to show what is wrong ;-)

May be the 1st thing to do is to be really open in all the aspects, and that 
means clarifying our legal "situation", the terms under we take all the 
decisions, and so on.

Regards,
Jordi

Hi,

I've already raised this some time ago, same as other people did, but I
still see my name being published, w/o my consent, in the list of
attendees.

This is not acceptable, we should have the option to choose if we want to
have our name published or not when we do the registration.

Jordi,

are you objecting to having your name published *at all*, or having your 
name published *before the meeting*?

The list of attendees (but not their contact info) is (according to the 
lawyers) a legal requirement for our way of doing business; it is part of 
the transparency requirement that it's possible to find out who was there.

                      Harald
