RE: Blue Sheet Etiquette

["Ian King" <iking at microsoft.com>]

Once upon a time, when I was a Working Group chair, I asked the
Secretariat for a copy of the blue sheet from my session; my goal was to
direct mail to persons who had been there, to discuss issues raised
there (in case they weren't subscribed to the list).  

Granted, one of them took umbrage with me, but it was otherwise rather
effective.  

So there's one reason for you - it's a service to the Working Group.  --

Has it been said what those blue sheets are used for anyway?

I don't think _anyone_ is typing any emails on the lists.

Rather, I'd guess the secretariat is only interested in seeing how many 
people attended, so gauge how to make room reservations at the next 
meetings etc.
