Re: [Gendispatch] I-D Action: draft-eggert-ietf-and-trust-00.txt

Oh, I just noticed this in the "Asset register" section:

> The current known licensing position of every RFC.

That's impossible if taken literally. Firstly, that would require more than 9000 executions of due diligence, which isn't going to happen. Secondly, it's impossible (especially for pre-RFC5378 documents and even more so for pre-IETF RFCs). Thirdly, non-IETF RFCs are out of scope for an IETF BCP.

I don't understand the claim that the current asset register is incomplete, since it indicates that the TLP applies to both contributions and RFCs, and the TLP describes the licenses.

> no "licenses to others" are being shown after 2015

That's plausible. The general license provisions for fair use avoid the need for licenses in most cases.

Anyway - maintaining the asset register is an operational matter. It should not be the target of a BCP.
