IEEE802 uses formal voting (during its meetings) to determine issues and to accept proposals (or motions) to add or delete text from documents that are being developed.
In addition, IEEE802 has rules for how many meetings a person has to attend to develop "voting rights", and thereafter, how many meetings the person needs to keep attending to retain voting rights.
I can understand why IEEE802 developed an electronic tracking system for their attendees. Keeping track of all the above via paper-based sign-in sheets was a lot of work, and also fairly easy to "game" or exploit.
The IETF WG process is very different from IEEE802, and that (for me) is reason enough to suggest that a system built for the IEEE802 may not be appropriate for IETF. There are lots of other reasons too ...

I understand that Blue Sheet has been the tradition of IETF to track the attendees to each working group. But people’s hand writing is all different, it takes some work to track the names and contact information on Blue Sheet.
IEEE802 has moved to On-Line attendee log (https://seabass.ieee.org/imat/index). It will be easier for every one if an on-line attendee tool is used.
