Re: RFC 5378 "contributions"

Hi -

Thanks for the clarification.  Does this mean that if a WG
really has no concern that the documents it's working on would be
spun off to another organization, then it doesn't need to
worry about tracking down "contributors"?

only use outside the IETF is problematic (ie, allowed under 5378 but not the earlier rules).
