The Mentoring Project is looking for a feature to capture registrations for:

1. IETF Guides Participants (formerly mentees)

2. IETF Guides Resource persons (formerly mentors)

3. Quick Connection mentees

4. Quick Connection mentors

These registrations happen every IETF meeting (even though we might want to re-use Resource persons and mentors).

What we need here is a meeting specific URL where people can go to to sign up for the different roles described above. For the sign up process we need several text fields, that end up in a simple database that Wes and I can access and use.*

Examples of fields that we currently use (FYI):

   a. given name
   b. surname
   c. email address

   g. What is your preferred conversational language, if not English?

Another feature which might be part of this, but maybe separate, is the ability to run evaluation surveys to assess the quality of tutorials, presentations, mentoring, etc.

• Wes and I were thinking of a kind of semi-automatic match making between the mentors/mentees and participants/resource persons, but I don't think this should go in this feature to keep this modular.
