Way back in the early days of the IETF, the email address was used for
adding people to the mailing list for the WG. But that was a long
time ago, when many mailing lists weren't so automated. :-)

Indeed, but why do the blue sheets ask for an email address? I'm
not interested in receiving any mail (e.g. product advertisements
loosely related to the IETF protocols) based on my writing my email
on the blue sheets. I accept it's good for disambiguation though
asking for affiliation might achieve the same. If anyone would be
able to get the blue sheets, they probably shouldn't get the email
addresses. Having to write a privacy policy would require ironing
out these small details which might be a goog thing.
