honoring a subpoena and giving over the blue sheets with the data we do have.
I'm not saying if that's good or bad. But anyway I assume the IETF has legal
counsel which has been asked what, if anything, should be recorded to protect
the IETF and its members, and that they said we don't need to keep emails
which is why this topic is being discussed by us rather than being moot?
Sorry. Meant to be more clear. It wasn't the mere formality, but the
practical
benefit of the email address, in being able to actually contact attendees.
As for the reported use of the lists for spam, they need not be included in the
proceedings. Hadn't thought about it before, but I'm not seeing why attendee
lists are particularly useful for the Proceedings.
