You're right on both counts. So (and addressing Randy's concern):

   Anything that you write, say, or discuss in the IETF, formally or
   informally, either at an IETF meeting or in another IETF venue
   such as a mailing list, is an IETF contribution.  If you believe
   that any contribution of yours is covered by a patent or patent
   application controlled by you or an organization with which you
   are affiliated, you must disclose it or arrange for that
   organization to disclose it.
