The client can still log when ICE procedures occur.

Because, even if I wait until your phone starts to ring, most likely I would still get your IP address without user confirmation (speaking in SIP terms, phones normally don't ask for user permission before they send 18x with SDP), eventhough you would easier be made aware of that it happens.

Another alternative is of course to do ICE with an SBC, and/or having an SBC doing ICE on behalf of you :)
