Paul, The reason this is an EXPERIMENT is exactly to find out what/how/where/when information needs to be collected to be useful for the IETF. So, I can well imagine that we could have a "alias" or "identity" field that would represent exactly what you put on the bluesheet and THIS is the information that would be collected. It might get complicated if you have numerous aliases that you use for different working groups etc, but anyway, all of this is a matter of programming. I am going to assume (without having looked at the details) that the RFID card can hold a lot of information. I am going to suggest that we, with the help of WIDE, start a discussion list where some of these details can be ironed out. Cheers, Ole Ole J.
