The discussion about blue sheets begs the question: does the IETF (or
the Trust) have a privacy policy? I did a quick look for one but I
didn't see one posted anywhere. If there's a legal entity collecting
personal information (which there obviously is), it should have a
privacy policy.

Going even further, I would like to see the list of attendees for each
working group made visible online, so those of us who aren't there can
determine who was there. I realize that might well be a burden, of
course.

During the plenary yesterday, it came out that the IETF has retained
the working group attendance sheets ("blue sheets") from previous
meetings, and those are occasionally the subject of subpoenas.
In the interest of minimizing IETF overhead and reducing legal risks
to individual participants, I'd like to see those old records
destroyed. And, though there appeared to be a variety of
opinions, it
sounded like I wasn't alone in this.
The reason typically given for the attendance lists is planning
meeting room capacity. That purpose could easily be accomplished
with
a headcount or by counting the number of names on the attendee list
then immediately destroying the list. Most of us aren't
mathematicians by training: we should be able to count the number of
people in the room.
What harms would come from destroying those old records and/or not
collecting such details in the future? And how widespread is the
support for destroying them?
