It will last for an indeterminate period of time; however, I do intend to periodically attempt unblocking to see if attacks continue.  But given the public nature of the lists, I will not make a specific statement about timing here.  I will simply say tha we (AMS) will proactively manage this as we do all other such incidents, to ensure the maximum optimization of global access to the IETF for the world, balanced against the need to prevent disruptions from occurring.

At present, "no access to www.ietf.org".
