Hi,

Speaking only as myself:

I think the question of what we want to accomplish is important and
the one I'd hope we'd focus on first when trying to answer these
questions.  It seems to me that people ought to be able to access IETF
stuff in as many ways as we can think of, and to do that without fear
of repercussions.  yet we need to do something about the attacks
against the IETF sites, which have been painful and which we need to
be prepared to handle.

No brilliant suggestions here, just questions.
