I don’t think even those who are most aggressively opposed to the viewpoint I 
am espousing here would agree with you that "any logging however, if not done 
as a temporary measure to understand and enhance a protocol would potentially 
discourage communication".

I agree that the document does not contain this, because I do not think it is 
correct. In what way does logging IP/source port create a barrier for victims? 
Why is it any different to logging IP address, which is routine at the moment, 
in terms of creating any sort of barrier for victims?

You mention “permanent” - In case you haven’t already, I encourage you to read 
back over the rest of this thread because we’re specifically not talking about 
how long logs should be kept for, rather the advantages/disadvantages of 
logging source port whenever IP address is logged - and in the case of my 
document, what else can be done to encourage that approach.
