Re: Applying "Note Well" to side meetings

[Richard Barnes <[e-mail]>]

Scott, I think you may be over-stating things a bit.  The IETF doesn't get
to make universal statements that apply to things out of its remit.  For
example, there are numerous research conferences that are held on
IETF-related technologies -- often with a specific focus on providing
helpful input to IETF! -- which are not held under note well.

The location of such meetings alongside IETF meetings does not change this
fact.  AFAICT, ANRW is not covered by Note Well, despite having the
explicit goal of "transition[ing] research back into IETF".

The definition of Contribution in 8179 makes this clear from the start:

"""
"Contribution": any submission to the IETF ...
"""
