No, this needs an RFC 3683 update - the RFC mentions acknowledgements 
only in the title of its acknowledgements section; steps need to be 
taken at once to rectify this severely overlooked issue.

We can't have people mounting denial of service attacks against the IETF 
by being mentioned in acknowledgements section - that would be Just Too 
Impolite!
