Paul,
The reason this is an EXPERIMENT is exactly to find out
what/how/where/when information needs to be collected to
be useful for the IETF.
So, I can well imagine that we could have a "alias" or "identity"
field that would represent exactly what you put on the bluesheet
and THIS is the information that would be collected. It might get
complicated if you have numerous aliases that you use for different
working groups etc, but anyway, all of this is a matter of
programming. I am going to assume (without having looked at the
details) that the RFID card can hold a lot of information.
I am going to suggest that we, with the help of WIDE, start a
discussion list where some of these details can be ironed out.
Cheers,
Ole

Please note that you are now also collecting information that *is
not* on the current blue sheets, namely "company/organization
affiliation". I have noted that some people I know who have signed a
blue sheet before me have used personal email addresses while (I
assume) their badge lists their actual "company/organization
affiliation". As a person with multiple company/organization
affiliations, I sometimes change the email address I put on the blue
sheets to be the one most appropriate to the topic of the WG.
It is a bad idea to have this experiment create combined blue sheets
that have data that differs depending on the collection method.
There are probably a dozen WGs in the IETF who have had this problem
come back and bite them on their collective backsides during
protocol development or, unfortunately, after their protocols have
deployed.
Please strongly consider having the readers record exactly what the
current blue sheets record, or change the blue sheets to record what
the readers are recording for this meeting. The first of these two
will most likely cause less revolt.
