There may be different reasons around the community why different people thought it was ok for the Trust to end up holding this. Perhaps a public mailing list is not the ideal place for me to vent^W express my feelings about trademarks on "IANA" or related logos. Nevertheless, > is that I don't care about the IETF trust issues and conclude that > reasonable grammar ought win in this case. whether you care about IETF Trust issues makes no difference, because the IETF Trustees, and only the IETF Trustees, are indivudually on the hook for making sure their fiduciary duty with respect to the Trust property is fulfilled. Therefore, I believe the Trust will insist that the trademark on IANA be handled according to the agreements the Trust has with various parties (including the IETF, note). Full disclosure: until March or the IAB removes me (whichever comes first), I'm IAB chair, which means I'm on the IAOC, which means I'm a Trustee. I'm offering my personal opinion, but it is informed by what I understood IETF Trust counsel advised. Because of a bad decision when I was younger, I am not a lawyer, and this opinion is worth what you paid for it :) Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
