<Sorry for cross-posting, but wasn't sure if HRPC or PEARG was the more 
appropriate WG>

In IETF113, we presented draft-giuliano-blocking-considerations-00 in HRPC 
(as well as in int-area).  The purpose of this draft is to document the 
well-known approaches for blocking the Internet connectivity of 
regions/nations (eg, for the purpose of sanction).  This doc does not 
advocate for/against such a policy, but rather explains what is 
technically possible, how it might work, how effective it might/might not 
be and what might be the potential intended/unintended consequences. This 
doc is intended to provide sober, unbiased information for those who do 
advocate/implement such policies- a "read this first before taking action" 
document to help inform a policy-maker when deciding whether such a policy 
is a good idea or not.

In HRPC in Vienna, there seemed to be some interest in this work in some 
form. One suggestion was to add parts of it to 
draft-irtf-pearg-censorship, but looks like that train has left the 
station.  Another option would be adopt this draft in HRPC or PEARG. 
Looking at the charters of each, HRPC seems like a better fit (albeit, 
more "deployment considerations" than "protocol considerations") but we're 
fairly new to both WGs.

Here's a link to the draft. Comments and suggestions for next steps would 
be most welcome:
