I personally feel that in this case, that giving the names people
registered with may be ok, since without email addresses, it's not
really that "exploitable", nor is it unreasonable to have a list of
names at the door, to manage headcount. IE: The request makes sense.
I would say that we should perhaps see if we can negotiate some method
for a few late adds, in the event someone's plans change, and want to
attend. (Unless it's a capacity issue.) (We'll still tell people it's
mandatory to
RSVP).
That said, without further explanation as to why they want/need email
addresses, I don't think we should share them. (I can't think of an
obvious reason that they'd want them, that I'd find agreeable, but I
may be missing something.)
