Re: Last Call for Comments: Proposed work-around to the Pre-5378 Problem

[Ed Juskevicius <[e-mail]>]

I am pleased to announce that the IETF Trustees have just finished work on a
revision to our "Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents" policy.  The
revision includes optional new legend text in Section 6.c.iii of the
policy to serve as a work-around for people experiencing the "pre-5378
problem."

Please note the newly approved policy is dated 2009-02-12.  Please also note
that the Effective Date of this revised policy has been set to 2009-02-15.
The old policy (effective from November 10, 2008) remains in force until
00h00 UTC on February 15th.

The approved text is available now on IETF Trust website at
 http://trustee.ietf.org/policyandprocedures.html

Please look for the document dated 2009-02-12, just below the heading
labeled "DRAFT Policy and Procedures Being Developed."

On or shortly after February 15th, the Trust website will be updated so as
to archive all of the recent draft versions of the new policy, and to make
it easier to navigagte to the newly approved policy.

Please review the new policy so you are aware of the latest copyright
statements and other boilerplate legend text that will be required on
all contributions to the IETF starting on February 15, 2009.

Regards, and Thanks in advance,


Ed Juskevicius, on behalf of the IETF Trustees
