I agree with Andrew here, it would be a pity to run into this just a few
months after assuming the IPR in trust on behalf of all 3 communities, and
having agreed to the stewardship that came along with that. It may be just
issues of grammar or legalese, but it has background and relationships with
the two other communities behind those words.

Sorry about the top post, but there's an important correction to be made
here. 

_We_ do not own the IANA trademark.  The IETF Trust does.  Moreover, the
Trust has certain agreements with other organizations and those constrain
what the Trust may do. Finally, the Trust can't actually do exactly what it
wants with the trademark, because there are rules about how trademarks must
be handled in order to remain valid.  

The Trust agreed to take on the IANA ipr as part of the transition, as a
service to the Internet operational communities affected.  That doesn't mean
we get just to do whatever we would like.  

Best regards,

A
