Hi,
Two IPR-motivated things inline:

Are we validating the email address in some way?
If we are not, I don't see the point of the *-required in any of those places.


I’m in favor of validating the address, for example by sending some form of 
credential to it; without the credential, only listening/reading access is 
granted.  Doesn’t have to be bullet-proof, but using 
example(_at_)example(_dot_)com shouldn’t work.  This is obviously in order to 
obtain one semi-traceable record of the participant.

I suggest:
 1) Add me to the attendeeXX list.

 2) I think we have another list which is more announce and less discuss,
    but I can't recall it, they should be added to it as well.

 3) It would be nice if they they could be asked at registration time which
    WG they will attend (no commitment!), and if this information could be
    relayed to WG chairs.

 4) ask them if we can collect anonymized performance data and
    site/path/latency/jitter information.

And 5) click-through of the Note Well (unless that’s done in some other phase 
of the remote participation, like when signing-in to meetecho).  Again for--I 
hope obvious--IPR related reasons.
