----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a process DISCUSS.

This document replaces draft-randriamasy-alto-cost-calendar, but this
information is not reflected in the datatracker.  The individual draft has an
IPR declaration attached to it [1], but the failure to link the two documents
has resulted in the IPR indication not carrying over.   The direct effect is
that the IETF Last Call [2] explicitly says that "No IPR declarations have been
submitted directly on this I-D."

The Shepherd writeup says that "The entire author team has confirmed
conformance with BCP 78/79 with the shephered." -- but that doesn't indicate
whether IPR is present or not, just conformance.  In looking through the
mailing list archive, I couldn't find mention of the IPR at adoption [3] [4] or
at WGLC [5].

The declaration was made early in the process [6], and there was no discussion
in the WG about it.  I can see how it would be easy to overlook.

Nonetheless, it is necessary for the WG (and the IETF as a whole) to explicitly
consider the declaration before proceeding with the publication of this
document.
