Badge dots are an IETF tradition, perhaps as beloved as cookies. However, we’ve also heard reports that the unlabeled dots can be confusing to newcomers.   For IETF 100, we are going to experiment with printing the appropriate acronyms on the dots (e.g. IESG on the yellow dots, IAB on the red ones, etc.). After the meeting concludes, we will give everyone the opportunity to voice their opinion on the experiment via the post-meeting survey. 

A couple of notes: in lieu of green dots, we are going to provide the host team with green host badge ribbons. Also, due to space and legibility concerns, we will not be printing "WG Chair" on the blue dots.  However, WG chairs will have the opportunity to experiment with something unique, as they will have the option of writing the name of their working group on a blank blue badge ribbon if desired.
