Re: [antitrust-policy] how does that affect those with no competitive interests?

I think Rigo is referring to the W3C.  For those who do not know, Rigo is
W3C's counsel.

I'm just wondering who "we" are.  I've been representing the IETF since 1998
and don't recall any discussion with EU competition authorities about our
IPR policy.  Did this happen before my time, maybe in the RFC 2026 era?  If
so, I'd love to hear more about who participated in this discussion, what
was asked, and what the authorities said.
