This creates a distinguished identity, so if two "Fei Zhang"s attended in Paris (only case I found in the attendee list), this would distinguish which of them attended a particular meeting. It would not, however, tie them to an identity on the mailing list, or to the "Fei Zhang" who attends the Vancouver meeting, so I'm not sure what purpose it serves.

If the purpose is simply differentiation of people with the same names, could we not ask people to enter the last four digits of their IETF registration number, which would presumably be unique, while being easy to remember?  The number could even be on your badge to always be easy to look up.

Unless there's some reason to keep registration numbers private?

That would also allow poorly handwritten names to more readily be checked/corrected by OCR when the sheets are scanned.

If the email address is used, then we must provide a way for people to ask for their email address to be remove at any time in the future, even if we got prior approval to include it.  Therefore, I suggest that we collect organization affiliation to discriminate between multiple people with the same name instead of email address.

This is fairly easy to do, once the community tracking tools are deployed.  However, with the removal of the email addresses from the blue sheets, it is unclear that there is any further need for password protection of these images.  Therefore, I suggest that we proceed without password protection for the blue sheet images.
