Re: Future Handling of Blue Sheets

2012-04-22 23:42:31

Hi Tobias.

I would like to make them available as part of the proceedings so that anyone 
can find them and view them.  This _may_ reduce subpoenas for the blue sheets 
in the future.

Many people have expressed similar thoughts about the RFID experiment.  Last 
time we investigated a system for IETF meetings, it was quite expensive.  I'll 
ask again to see if this has changed.

Hi Russ,

from a privacy perspective: may I ask for what purpose you propose to publish 
the blue sheets (with the names of all WG session attendees) with the 
proceedings?
AFAIK, at the moment the blue sheets are basically available on request 
especially in case of IP questions. What would lead to the proposal to 
publish the list of names of attendees always with the proceedings?

Best regards, Tobias


Ps.: btw. though I might be the only one, but I liked the blue sheet 
replacement experiment (RFID) in Hiroshima...

At IETF 83, we had a discussion about the future of blue sheets, many spoke 
at the mic in support of the proposal.  There has been very little 
discussion on the mail list.  However, all of the discussion that I have see 
has been very supportive.

The suggestion is three blue sheet changes:
1.  No longer ask for email address;
2.  Scan the blue sheet and include the image in the proceedings for the WG 
session; and
3.  Discard paper blue sheets after scanning.

Please speak up if you think this is the wrong thing to do.

Thanks,
  Russ
