Re: How do we feel about conferences scraping addresses from the IETF?

Stripping email addresses from public mailing list archives is considered best practice these days.

For example, the linux kernel mailing list webarchive is filled with <> instead of email addresses.

I don't think so. Google gets 134 hits on the address John indicated. Really, we can't hide our email addresses and still communicate on publicly archived lists (which John has done, using that address).

Older IETF attendance lists also included email addresses.

Is it realistic to even have such a policy? Do we think the serious

spammers would either know or care?

Did you and John mean "we in the US" or "we at IETF"?  I didn't even know there

are APIs to exfiltrate email addresses from the datatracker...

I don't think there are.  They probably scraped a registration like or the like.

I sure get a lot of spam offering me copies of the registration lists

for conferences, most of which I never heard of.
