Hi Scott,

There was a thread at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/perpass/current/msg00212.html

My interpretation of the BCP is that it recommends saving information 
so that users can be tracked without taking into consideration the 
privacy implications.  The BCP states that "data-retention policies 
are out of scope for [the] document".  It can be argued that the IETF 
is recommending a best practice which is surveillance-friendly.

My suggestion would be to give some thought to the privacy 
implications, get some (public) discussion about the matter and 
decide about the next steps.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
