Re: [79all] IETF Badge

[Ole Jacobsen <[e-mail]>]

Lou,

I see. So you had to take off your shoes, leave water behind and be 
frisked and/or scanned at this meeting? I can't say I went to every
meeting room, but I did not notice any of that going on.

Also, when I say "suggesting" it's sort of meant to be a forward 
looking statement not some idea that what we had will be the new
norm. I'd love to not have to write this down, but if I did it
would be something along the lines of "Entrance to IETF meetings
is for registered attendeed, wear you badge at all times, you may
be challenged if you don't do so." And maybe add specifics as
was done in this case.

I agree that this was a great meeting, thanks to the host and everyone 
else involved including the hotel staff!
