Re: Registration for remote participation

No statistics about this, but there are people who don’t have datatracker credentials.

You can do most things, including submitting drafts without datatracker credentials. 

But as yet another option it works fine.

I didn't see any response to Eliot's suggestion to use datatracker credentials for registration, so that (1) we have links to information that has been previously provided, and (2) we'd have roughly the same level of verification that we have for anyone who's using the datatracker now.

What are the downsides? I guess Meetecho would need to handle IETF differently from other customers (who, regrettably, don't use datatracker)? Are there others?

Regardless of motivation here, if the tools team were to use our
ietf.org logins for registration one of the benefits of that would be
that many fields could be filled in for us, albeit editable (some of us
need that for tee shirt size, regrettably),  both for in person and
remote participation.

There is a downside: the secretariat would have to secure that
information.  Personally I think we should offer that as an option as an
exercise to demonstrate how privacy can be done properly, so that we are
eating our own dog food.  The minimum, though, would be a validated IETF
account.  I don't think that's a high bar.
