I'd hate to think that the IETF is modelling its networks on dodgy
semi-opaque NAT boxes with bad DNS habits and poor performance.  

That aside, I have some questions.  What are the plans for logging of
the authentication requests, failures, and successes, and who could
legally have access to those logs?  In particular, are the governments
of the countries where the (respective) events are to be held able to
require that the logs be turned over?  How long will the logs be kept,
and by whom?  (Obviously, these are not new issues, but given the
increased ability under this approach to associate a particular human
with one or more MAC addresses, it would seem that the status of such
logging might be more important.)
