Hi,
Whatever the information is used for, or not used for, I think it would be useful to know the number of remote participants, and where they are located.

A quick scan of that list shows the following topics:
- coffee, sims
- mailing list for IETF women
and the following comment:
"I'm not sure why I should be required to give my contact information to
get a document prepared by the Brussels airport for Brussels passengers."

I doubt that the IETF chooses its meeting location based on where the
remote participants are located.
I'll go off-topic first. Mr Reschke once asked "I was just trying to
understand *why* the archive can't be at
<http://www.ietf.org/tao/archive>". Mr Housley replied that "I was
told that we cannot have http://www.ietf.org/tao directed to the
document and also be the directory containing the archive
directory". Mr Hansen provided some technical details about how that
can be done. The point here is it might be better to have a good
answer as some IETF participant might deconstruct the answer and find
the flaw in it.
Mr Klensin's message was about how to find out about the 87all
mailing list. Participants within the inner circle know how to find
it. The rest of the participants will not be able to find that
information as it is not easily accessible through the www.ietf.org
web site. There is probably a lack of information about what
information is provided through the ietf-announce@ mailing list.
