[ fwiw, i am not bothered if some folk well-versed in such things develop and put forth a policy about how the ietf treats data about members, attendees, network, ... ] > And "yes" we have researchers looking into the traffic, people storing > all sorts of data, etc. we do? about our traffic on the ietf meeting network? stuff other than the _ephemeral_ data the noc ops use to manage the network? as far as i know o data collection has been done very rarely. and when it has been, it has been widely announced. o there is no plan known by the net ops to do so in maastricht or beijing at either of those meetings. o aside from issues in the wireless deployment, the data about net use at ietf meeings seems pretty boring to me from a research view o but i am sure there are wifi spies snooping and playing. and i suspect that they will not be very respectful of any policy put in place. given the latter, i focus more on prudent personal net hygene and less on prose. randy _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
