The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-05-28. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the

Abstract


   The disclosure process for intellectual property rights (IPR) in
   documents produced within the IETF stream is essential to the
   accurate development of community consensus.  However, this process
   is not always followed by participants during IETF standardization.
   Regardless of the cause or motivation, noncompliance with IPR
   disclosure rules can derail or delay completion of standards
   documents.  This document describes strategies for promoting
   compliance with the IPR disclosure rules.  The strategies are
   primarily intended for area directors, working group chairs, and
   working group secretaries.
