According to IETF Trust, the new polices and procedures are effective 
as from November 10, 2008 [1].  The announcement about the new 
boilerplate text was sent on November 11, 2008 [2].  The General Area 
Director sent an announcement on December 11, 2008 mentioning that 
the IETF Note Well text have been updated [3].  The IAD posted a 
message on December 17, 2008 to say that the Note Well text will be 
updated on that day [4].

Based on the above timeline, I do not presume that Fred Flintstone 
received a copy of the updated Note Well on or before November 10, 
2008.  It may be easier to ask Fred Flintstone about his contribution 
than to determine when he was informed that the Note Well has been updated.
