the reason that the blue sheets were created was as part of maintaining
a full record of the open standards process - the question of room size
was never considered
the basic idea is discussed in section 8 of RFC 2026
Each of the organizations involved in the development and approval of
Internet Standards shall publicly announce, and shall maintain a
publicly accessible record of, every activity in which it engages, to
the extent that the activity represents the prosecution of any part
of the Internet Standards Process. For purposes of this section, the
organizations involved in the development and approval of Internet
Standards includes the IETF, the IESG, the IAB, all IETF Working
Groups, and the Internet Society Board of Trustees.
2026 does not specifically mention maintaining a list of who was
at the meetings but that is clarly a part of a full record
in addition, RFC 2418 section 3.1 requires obtaining a list of attendees
All working group sessions (including those held outside of the IETF
meetings) shall be reported by making minutes available. These
minutes should include the agenda for the session, an account of the
discussion including any decisions made, and a list of attendees. The
Working Group Chair is responsible for insuring that session minutes
are written and distributed, though the actual task may be performed
by someone designated by the Working Group Chair. The minutes shall
be submitted in printable ASCII text for publication in the IETF
Proceedings, and for posting in the IETF Directories and are to be
sent to: minutes(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org

Pointing this out for completeness sake, it is not currently
required to sign said sheets to participate in WG sessions.
In dim memory, there was discussion of creating/using tracking
technology (RFIDs in badges) to obviate the need to sign in.
