Question for the IETF... How are people supposed to verify the IETF's assumptions?

Since Harald has already threatened  me with suspension for offtopic 
postings in regard to these matters in the IPR-WG, the only other place I 
can post this is to the IETF at IETF dot ORG list...

---

Question... The question simply is that IETF's "IP Reliance Processes" 
clearly state "that it is the responsibility of the relying party to verify 
the IPR issues pertaining to any use of an IETF-IP or 'Work Product' from 
any IETF Vetting Effort". That also clearly includes any and all 
participation in the IETF itself including that of the WG and Meeting under 
the Note-Well IP conveyance rules as part of that "Work Product"...  So let 
me ask - how is that supposed to happen? How is diligence supposed to happen 
here?

This is a VERY important question since the current language makes it the 
responsibility of the relying parties to also protect themselves from any 
and all liabilities with regard to participating in the IETF and without a 
formal release from all the other parties in a WG there seems to be an issue 
here.

Any thoughts (other than trying to stop me from asking these types of 
questions?)
