I think that's an excellent idea and deserves its own thread. Certainly, back in the day Usenix had the "facesaver" project and directory and it was fairly popular. I do think that it wouldn't need to be an IETF project, per se - if someone wants to they can just set up a web page and ask folks on mailing lists to send their photos. Or they can hold opt-in portrait sessions during meetings (which is what Usenix did). That said, I agree with those who think that setting cultural norms and making it easier for people who don't want their photo taken to avoid it would make IETF meetings more comfortable, without a lot of downside (other than this discussion ... ).
