Good point Tim and that would be us. However we are getting ready to migrate to Meraki wireless this month, away from Cisco, and slowly reopening for some on campus classes. We didn't have some of the "tracking" functionality with our Cisco deployment but will with our Meraki.
COVID has thrown another requirement for "tracking" users on the campus which is currently done completely manually (paper) by the classroom instructors. I was hoping to automate some of this or at least be able to provide limited contact tracing information for a given period, longer than 24 hours, if requested. Has anyone on the list worked through COVID contact tracing with their systems yet? If so what were some of the key takeaways you learned from it? Good and bad. ________________________________ From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> on behalf of Enfield, Chuck <cae...@psu.edu> Sent: Thursday, August 6, 2020 8:06 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] MAC Randomization, a step further... External Email There are identity requests, and take downs. Identity requests are frequent and come with little to know liability. Take downs are less frequent, but failing to take down protected content makes the service provider liable. Or plan for take downs when we can’t identify a user is to block the device. If we can’t identify either we’ve got a liability problem. It may not be a large risk, but I don’t think our lawyers will like it.

If you want to remain anonymous, use a different network. IANAL, and I don’t even play one on TV, but my admittedly old understanding of the DMCA is that it’s not necessarily mandating that you have to be able to identify every single device on your network. Indeed, some institutions’ responses to DMCA notices has been that they don’t have the necessary information to be able to take action. So IMO, assuming (which is dangerous) that I’m correct, that if MAC randomization puts an undue burden and/or large obstacles on your ability to track down a device/user and cut it off from the network, the DMCA alone shouldn’t be seen as a mandate to try to disable MAC randomization. -- Julian Y.
