Regardless of motivation here, if the tools team were to use our
ietf.org logins for registration one of the benefits of that would be
that many fields could be filled in for us, albeit editable (some of us
need that for tee shirt size, regrettably),  both for in person and
remote participation. 

There is a downside: the secretariat would have to secure that
information.  Personally I think we should offer that as an option as an
exercise to demonstrate how privacy can be done properly, so that we are
eating our own dog food.  The minimum, though, would be a validated IETF
account.  I don't think that's a high bar.
