Re: Blue Sheet Change Proposal

The registration database for each IETF meeting already contains email  
addresses of all attendees, presumably a superset of the blue-sheet  
signers.

More technologically-advanced conferences and trade-shows use RFID or  
(a few years ago) mag stripes to avoid deciphering handwriting. The  
per-card cost is modest and since there are a lot of repeat attendees,  
we all just need our IETF "frequent flyer card". We used something  
like that for speaker identification at the microphone at ACM  
Multimedia 2004; the microphone had a BlueTooth-enabled RFID reader  
that transmitted the code to a data gathering host, which then  
displayed name and affiliation on a screen. The range of the card was  
a few inches.
