Alissa, It's not totally clear because it is an EXPERIMENT and typically one does not develop a bunch of policies for how a particular technology might be used once it's "up and running" --- if we were to adopt it prior to actually running the experiment. There is clearly, today, no legal requirement that we retain the data from the experiment as a substitute for bluesheets since we are not replacing the bluesheets by RFID technology --- even if we are experimenting with how that would work. (Obviously, the secretariat will need to securely retain or destroy the data once the experiment is over, I don't see that as being any different from all the other information which is collected as a result of running an IETF meeting). I agree that more details about the experiment need to be provided, and they will be, it is still being worked out. And, you can opt out. In the meantime, please see: http://www.inet.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/ietf76-exp/index.html#bluesheet On Tue, 8 Sep 2009, Alissa Cooper wrote: > It is unclear to me whether the data retention policy applies to the RFID > data.
