Each person gets a sheet. Either each person in the room reads their fingerprint in turn from their own copy, with each person in the room checking the read fingerprint against the fingerprint on the handout, or an appointed reader (or set of readers at the last IETF) read the fingerprints in turn and ask the owner of the key to then simply say "yes" or "its mine" or whatever to verify that the fingerprint matches their own copy of the print.
How do they verify that the person confirming the fingerprint is indeed the person supposedly owning the key? -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
