Asking IETF WG chairs to deal with passwords is a bit silly.
Maybe they could be emailed a monthly reminder of their personal subscription
password on the first of each month.

/ IETF Relationship"
A couple of minor comments:
- For some unfathomable reason IEEE people seem to call mailing
lists "reflectors" - that might be worth a mention. Section 4
otherwise seems repetitive.
- 3.3.1.4 says: Since it is
possible to participate in IETF without attending meetings, or even
joining a mailing list, IETF WG chairs will provide the information
to anyone who requests it. However, since IEEE 802 work-in-progress
is copyrighted, incorporating material into IETF documents or posting
the username/password on mailing lists or websites is not permitted.
That's a pretty bogus setup. I would think that if IEEE do want to
share some or all drafts with us they could much more easily create
a web page when those drafts are available without access control.
Or we could if they didn't mind. (Or I could do it if there's no "we"
that wants to:-) Asking IETF WG chairs to deal with passwords is a
bit silly. I'm not objecting to this, but am suggesting someone ask
IEEE if they'd like to consider the silliness here and fix it.
