Regarding the legal issues - if the sessions are broadcast over the
Internet, and freely
downloadable (w/o specifying or tracking who was downloading them), how
can you be
certain that someone was NOT aware of certain IPR? Also, if someone was
in the room,
how can you be certain they WERE aware of certain IPR? The only thing
that the IETF can
say is that every contribution to the IETF is considered to be
publically disclosed,
and this is indeed what the Note Well says.
It seems to me that the IPR concerns are a red herring.

Subject: Re: Blue Sheet Change Proposal
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 :-(

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?

It's is the only unique token on the blue sheets. This
assumes no shared email accounts which is a pretty reasonable
assumption in this case.
