But I think its more than just IPR - avoiding technology because of IPR is more a symptom (and in fact is IETF guidance rather than IRTF policy). The CFRG has a unique position in that - unlike ANY other RG as far as I can tell - it's looked at as an immediate feeder for technology for the IETF. If it were agnostically evaluating the crypto properties of any offered technology, I'd say we're good and I'd move on. But, with the publication of Curve25519 and its related ... standards ..., the CFRG has moved from evaluation and re-publication of cryptographic standards developed and produced elsewhere into being the first publisher of what could only be characterized as standards, even if published as an Informational RFC in the IRTF stream. Ultimately, I think it comes down to fairness and transparency. As an RG, the publications of the RG are not subject to the standards appeals process. In an WG, the decision not to work on an IPR encumbered technology (or others such as national cryptography) MAY be appealed and overturned (or might not) or sponsored by an AD if there's no applicable or agreeable WG. There's a process for showing such decisions were made transparently, and with a broader audience than just the CFRG having a say. Later, Mike Ps - hmm... Note that the CFRG charter only mentions the IETF and not the IRTF....
