I imagine people feeling about the claims will factor into their opinions about if they think the draft is worth publishing as an RFC or not. Stephan is our IPR advisor for this group so hopefully if I said something wrong here he can correct me - he understands all of this better than I do.

I understand that IETF does not want to take a position. But for
individuals (like I), it is hard to make one's "own decision" on the
patents topic, as it is a pretty difficult subject, especially when
one is not part of a big company with lawyers or patent experts. So
that's had to evaluate any risk here. Hence that's why I am looking
for expertise of knowledgeable people on patents in the IETF's mls.
Anyway I'll see this mailing list that Christian linked me.

Thanks all, for the various answers.
