All - The IETF is aware that a number of you have received additional and/or unexpected address confirmation request messages from the IETF over the past couple of days. We're sorry for the confusion this has caused. The reason for this problem was that the confirmation system's database was not being updated correctly. This process occurs as a part of the regularly-scheduled database update system, and the step just before this process was hanging, causing problems for the database update. (Thanks to the efforts of Henrik, it was determined that there is a problem with the RFC Editor's IPV6 feed. A database sync that we pull from the RFC Editor was operating over IPV6, but was hanging due to a problem in their IPV6 feed. Switching that sync to IPV4 solved the problem. The RFC-Editor is moving to AMS in early January, which will permanently resolve that problem.) That prior process has been dealt with, and the confirmation system's database is now being updated correctly. If you received a confirmation message when you should not have, and did not see your message come through its intended list, we ask that you resend your message. There should be no further problems. If anyone DOES encounter any problems beyond the time of this message, or any problems of any kind pertaining to the IETF, please send the details, including as much information as possible, to our trouble desk at ietf-action@ietf.org so that we may investigate. We hope you enjoy your holidays. Glen Barney IT Director AMS (IETF Secretariat)
