I don't see it that way. The physical blue sheet was useless from a legal
perspective, but it was useful as a team-building exercise.

You'd have to pass it to the person next to you, if nothing else.

I often think terrible things about IETF matters, but I have a rule: I will
not write anything I won't sign my name to. No aliases, no unsigned emails,
etc.

It is depressing to see the unsigned mode as a default.

thanks,
Rob
