Chris.
What does "physically authenticate people" mean here? Show that they
have a badge (common and meets the stated requirement of "keep the
IETF network for IETF attendees")? Or write down the name? Or write
down the name and the network port for the cable they pick up?
The differences here are not subtle, and I don't think this question really
does belong with the hosts in Beijing. They can present requirements
to the IETF, but it is up to us to decide how to meet them. If their choice
in meeting the requirement "keep the IETF network for IETF attendees"
turns into "Track the network usage on a per attendee basis", the attendees
really need to know whether that is because that was the real requirement
all along or because the IETF management failed to provide a realistic
alternative that met the stated goal.
