Hi Peter,

Ok.

The audio seemed like a grey area to me.  I'll keep that discussion 
for another day.

Ok.

The possible steps are:

   1. Reminder checks whether there are claims of IPR that needs
      to be disclosed

   2. Someone mentions a claim

   3. Ask the WG whether they are ok given the new information

   4. consensus call on the technical work

Step 3 is the follow-up question.  I consider it as separate as what 
is being asked of the WG participant is not clear.  Some guidance is 
needed so participants know what they are being asked to do or what 
they can say (see past OAUTH thread as an example).
