This is the way things are *now*. Discussion of a privacy statement may lead to changes, such as keeping the attendee list confidential, and destroying it on the Monday following the meeting. I personally don't care if the whole world knows I've been to an IETF meeting, but the decision to publish the list on the website has privacy consequences. Without a privacy policy, it's hard to say whether that is acceptable or not. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
