Running on a backup computer, I get a certificate mismatch message when I try to access the datatracker using the link from the IESG page and a warning that I really should not proceed to this dangerous website.

Indeed, the website is datatracker.ietf.org and the certificate *.iab.org

Has something changed, or is this just a configuration quirk (Internet Explorer) on my backup system?

Is your Internet Explorer old enough to not send SNI?

Which, according to Wikipedia, is equivalent to asking if your backup computer is running XP.

Spot on. I know SNI well but had not realised that it was lacking from the tried and tested, trusty XP (which makes it a good choice for a backup system:-).
