The IESG has completed a review of draft-williams-exp-tcp-host-id-opt-05 consistent with RFC5742. The IESG recommends that 'Experimental Option for TCP Host Identification' <draft-williams-exp-tcp-host-id-opt-05.txt> NOT be published as an Experimental RFC. The IESG has concluded that this document violates IETF procedures about pervasive monitoring (RFC 7258) and should therefore not be published without IETF review and IESG approval. This work is related to IETF work done in the INTAREA WG. The IESG would also like the RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the history log. The IESG review is documented at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/conflict-review-williams-exp-tcp-host-id-opt/ A URL of the reviewed Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-williams-exp-tcp-host-id-opt/ The process for such documents is described at https://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html Thank you, The IESG Secretary
