The blue sheets are not just to figure out how many people to plan for
a room (as several people have, I think, already pointed out).
They're also there in order to show whether people were in fact at a
meeting.  This is important in a standards development organization,
particularly one, like the IETF, that maintains official agnosticism
about IPR claims.

Best,
