l. "Reasonably and personally known": means something an individual knows personally or, because of the job the individual holds, would reasonably be expected to know. This wording is used to indicate that an organization cannot purposely keep an individual in the dark about patents or patent applications just to avoid the disclosure requirement. But this requirement should not be interpreted as requiring the IETF Contributor or Participant (or his or her represented organization, if any) to perform a patent search to find applicable IPR. How do we deal with the case of a an individual that was exposed to IPR in a previous employment, but no longer having access to the records of that employer is uncertain about whether they know of such IPR? A third party disclosure is one solution, but without access to records it may not be possible to sufficiently identify the patent such that the legal department can file the disclosure. 6. Failure to Disclose There may be cases in which individuals are not permitted by their employers or by other factors to disclose the existence or substance of patent applications or other IPR. Since disclosure is required for anyone making a Contribution or participating in IETF activities, a person who is not willing or able to disclose IPR for this reason, or any other reason, must not contribute to or participate in IETF activities with respect to technologies that he or she reasonably and personally knows to be Covered by IPR which he or she will not disclose, unless that person knows that his or her employer or sponsor will make the required disclosures on his or her behalf. Contributing to or participating in IETF activities about a technology without making required IPR disclosures is a violation of IETF process. In addition to any remedies the IESG may consider other actions. See [RFC6701] for details. This assumes that the individual intends to support the technology that they know to be encumbered. Surely we need to also consider the case of an individual that although unable to disclose IPR without breaching confidentiality is arguing for an alternative unencumbered solution. We also need to visit the matter of licence fees. The IETF has a policy of not discussing licence terms, and in particular licence fees in determining whether a technology is to be adopted or avoided. This policy does not properly consider the extremity of the range of devices we support. What is technically the best solution for a $1m router despite a significant licence fee may not be viable for $0.01 IoT sensor because of the licence fee. Yet the WG is not permitted to discuss those economics. - Stewart
