Hello!

This note provides an update on the web analytics for www.ietf.org project.  In response to the initial proposal [1], the community provided a variety of helpful feedback [2].  The IESG and IETF Tools Team reviewed this community feedback and revised the proposal.  The more significant revisions included an explanation of the current analytics systems and associated practices; clarifying the scope and enumerating the explicit use cases; identifying the link between the collected data and the uses cases; and more clearly stating the privacy and security issues and their associated mitigations.

The final version of this project proposal can be found at [3].  This version has been endorsed by the IESG and (per Section 5 of this plan) the Tools Team will begin developing an implementation plan.

Again, thank you for the feedback.

Regards,
Roman
(as the IESG Tools Liaison)
