As I said in my reply to Andrew, no matter where a meeting is held, we
are subject to the laws of that location.  Nothing new there.

We have received no requests for the kind of "live" feeds that you
suggest.  I'm quite sure that the NOC Team and the IAOC would push back
is such a request were made.

Again, the use of anonymous registration IDs is available to you and
anyone that wants one.  If you are concerned about the logs, then you
should use one.
