I find the requirements "unusual" and not entirely "RIPE style" - to say the least.
<AOL Mode>Me too!</AOL Mode> It’s even stranger because when I was in Dubai for an ITU meeting (sigh) earlier this year, nothing was said (or done) about these DTCM requirements. Attendees were not bar-coded or obliged to hand over their Personal Data in advance. Mind you, the hotel demanded they photocopy my passport at check-in. Which is annoying enough. I wonder what would happen if a bunch of “tourists" turned up in Dubai and just happened to walk into the RIPE meeting? Will there be badge police at the door checking for bar-codes? This DTCM silliness is not compatible with RIPE meetings and I’m very disappointed that The Management has just accepted it.
