I'll bet the number of dynamic IP addresses amoung IETF remote attendees
is very small :-)
actually I think you'd be wrong, you don't have to be time shifted by
very much to switch from streaming in the office to streaming at home,
and then you get laptops versus desktops. if you sit in one location the
whole time then yeah the external ip address on your nat box is probably
stable.
One could look at coordinating the voice session with any simultaneous
login to the datatracker.
It has been our practice to minimize the amount of date we collect, and
not associate it with other datasets that would result in being able to
uniquely identify individuals. 2 months worth of hand-wringing
discussion on the IETF list suggests that we were justified in
exercising our fiduciary responsibility in that fashion.
listener's can't contribute to the discourse except through some other
channel and don't sign the bluesheets. and since there's an archive
however poor it is they may well be timeshifted by days, hours, or years.
