Re: Last Call on draft-bradner-rfc3979bis-08.txt ("Intellectual Property Rights in IETF Technology")

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Scott:

At IETF 86 in the IPRbis BOF, the minutes reflect fe following conclusion:

   Strong sense of the room that active influence counts as participation,
   but listening and watching does not.

So, one might argue that an AD can be unaware that a particular document includes something that needs to be disclosed up to the point that they take some action on that document, such as sponsoring it.

Can you point to a discussion on the other side of this point?

Russ

This isn’t a revolution of the IETF IPR approach, it is mostly about clarification, better documentation, and recognising some other new RFCs and changes. But the document itself has changed quite a lot and structured differently than RFC 3979 was.
