I would object very strongly to this deletion. We have always said "reasonably and
personally known" to make it clear that nobody is expected to go to unreasonable
lengths to discover the existence of IPR. For anyone who works for a large company,
it is clearly unreasonable for them to be aware of all IPR owned by that company,
and this phrase covers that case nicely, especially given that we all participate
and contribute here as individuals, even if we happen to use a corporate email
address. This phrase has stood the test of time and should not be changed.

That seems 100% redundant to me. How could anybody possibly interpret the roles
of WG Chair or AD as anything other than participating, at moments when they
are not contributing (which they often do)?
