Forgive me for not sharing the American enthusiasm for such
technologies.
I note that while the US election systems stagger from one
fiasco to the next there British electoral technology based on paper ballots,
pens and human counters/scrutinizers is considerably cheaper to operate and has
not failed since the introduction of universal suffrage.
Use of that type of technology might be viable in ten years
time but at this point they are in the 'vastly more trouble than could possibly
be worth' bucket.
Wait until they become common at conferences that have a
static venue before even thinking to use them at a movable feast like the
IETF.

Subject: RFID (was: identifying yourself at the mic)RFID would be a great way to replace the blue sheets as well - put an RFID reader at the door of each meeting room. Embed the chip in the name tag so you don't need to remember to bring anything else from your hotel room in the morning.Cheers,Andy
