Re: [Dime] Potential patent application regarding draft-ietf-dime-realm-based-redirect

The IPR disclosure is on its way. Huawei's legal department has processed it. 
Not sure what other process is involved, but apparently the disclosure will be 
out there in a few days.

Just to clarify the situation:

-- I personally was unaware of the IPR until Hannes told me about it.

-- As I told Hannes, I meant to report what he had told me about the IPR when I 
got around to replying to the reviews Sebastien and Jouni very kindly provided.

-- Between family Christmas activities and other work, I have been rather slow 
getting around to DIME. Sorry about that.
