- 3.1, last paragraph: Is there an expectation that the list of such techniques will change over time? - 3.3: I note that the existing pages get my affiliation wrong. They seem to infer affiliation from my email address domain. It might be worth mentioning that any official tool should not do that, lest we have “gmail” as the biggest employer in the IETF.

Jari's tools take a stab at gender. Such information ought not be added to the tracker DB, and nor ought heuristics that could allow one to derive the gender from an author's other published information. I think warning about that possibility would be good too even if you don't end up saying to not do stuff like that.
