Considering the no. Of users at every second it will not be possible to achieve 
direct privacy addressing system, for me IETF shld design a system which will 
enhance DMZ network  connection detection and monitoring system.

If what you want is "opt out" from static IP addresses, use proxies
at an application layer or IP over IP at the network layer.

The IETF has several times veered away from the deep water where internet

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2804

We are not legal experts we are not qualified to interpret the statutory 
requirements of various nation states, our own or others. We need to be 
clear on what is in vs out of scope for IETF work. Focus on what would be 
percieved to be in the best interests the users and the network. Nation 
states will do whatever they do and sovereign by definition can impose 
whatever mandate they find necessary on their network operations and 
citizens.

Joel, the issue is very clear: what the IETF does must not make
privacy and confidentiality impossible.  It's not just some arbitrary
regulation from a committee, there are whole cultures who take this
very seriously.  You cite the wiretapping decision -- note we didn't
make wiretapping impossible, we just didn't support it.  In this case
it is very easy to make privacy (the right to control personal
information) and confidentiality (the right to know that private
information you share with one party will be kept within that scope)
impossible -- that's a position you may not take as someone making the
Internet work, since the ultimate stakeholders are those humans out at
the edges.  See also "Changes to Internet Architecture Can Collide
With Privacy" <http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/79/slides/intarea-3.pdf>
for a discussion of mobility.

When you think "oh right, I have to come up with a security
considerations section", include privacy and confidentiality
implications in your checklist of things to think about.

Very much agree. 

I strongly disagree with the statement that every home network should have only 
ephemeral external addresses and that it should NAT to stable internal 
addresses.  I also strongly disagree with the assertion that EU law requires 
IETF to make it so.  But the underlying concerns are quite valid and important. 
 

I don't want to cripple all home networks and applications by imposing 
ephemeral addresses and/or NATs on them.  But having a stable address prefix 
associated with every device in one's home network that communicates with the 
public Internet can indeed threaten the user's privacy.  (Note that privacy 
addresses don't really solve the problem as they still all have the same 
prefix.)  Some applications and hosts require stable addresses; others do not.  
 So it might be that a home network needs to be able to support two prefixes - 
a stable one that can be used by those applications that need it, and an 
ephemeral one that can be used by everything else.   That's not difficult to do 
by itself, but my next question is how to arrange these things such that 
ordinary consumers can understand such details and manage them?

Anyway, to me it seems reasonable for the HOMENET group to consider privacy 
issues associated with address assignment.

As to the technical issues here, higher layers don't need to use IP
addresses as identifiers, they have their own.  The only layer that
needs to care about IP addresses is the IP layer itself.  

This has been demonstrated many times to be false.

Folks,

Whereas there has been considerable controversy regarding 
draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic, the v6ops chairs and document author have 
agreed to the following course of action:

- the V6OPS WG will withdraw its request to publish 
draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic
- The author will introduce a new draft, intended for standards track 
publication. The new draft will update RFCs 3056 and 3068. It will say that if 
6-to-4 is implemented, it must be turned off by default. 
- In order for the new draft to be published, it must achieve both V6OPS WG and 
IETF consensus

If anyone objects to this course of action, please speak up soon.

                                                    Ron
                                                    <Speaking as OPS Area AD>
