Really unrelated, but if need be, i'll claim it to be a perk (recognition): Could datatracker please start to capture and show also past IETF roles of participants on their people page ? Past chair , secretary, nomcom, othrer roles, ... etc. With start/end dates. (and no, i don't accept "do it yourself in the bio field" as an acceptable resolution. after all, we also have th counter discussion of too much accumulation of roles for few participants and lacking diversity therefore, and that would be good reason for folks not to try to highlight all their roles in their bio field themselves) Cheers Toerless On Fri, Jul 28, 2023 at 04:35:40PM +0200, Carsten Bormann wrote: > On 2023-07-27, at 19:15, Marie-Jose Montpetit <marie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > I think that chairs by default should be given free registration.
