I do change mine based on what capacity I'm attending a particular
meeting in. That goes for email address on existing blue sheets as well...

The nice people who send me a check every two weeks don't generally fund
my attendance.

If the email address is used, then we must provide a way for people to ask for their email address to be remove at any time in the future, even if we got prior approval to include it.  Therefore, I suggest that we collect organization affiliation to discriminate between multiple people with the same name instead of email address.

This is fairly easy to do, once the community tracking tools are deployed.  However, with the removal of the email addresses from the blue sheets, it is unclear that there is any further need for password protection of these images.  Therefore, I suggest that we proceed without password protection for the blue sheet images.
