I understood that line to be something like, “The organizers of the meeting decide to apply Note Well”, just as one might apply the Chatham House Rule. IANAL, these are only my muddled thoughts, etc, but that is completely exactly 100% the opposite of my understanding: " m. "Participating in an IETF discussion or activity": making a Contribution, as described above, or **in any other way acting in order to influence the outcome of a discussion relating to the IETF Standards Process**. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, acting as a Working Group Chair or Area Director constitutes "Participating" in all activities of the relevant working group(s) he or she is responsible for in an area. "Participant" and "IETF Participant" mean any individual Participating in an IETF discussion or activity. " [ Emphasis mine ] Perhaps if there was a side-meeting on the best way to plant potatoes it wouldn't have to apply -- however, I think any realistic side meeting at the IETF is likely to be "acting in order to influence the outcome of a discussion relating to the IETF Standards Process." If I were chairing a WG meeting and the VGA cable fell out just as I was showing the Note Well, it's clear that it would still apply. Similarly if I were to organize an interim meeting on V6OPS and forgot to display the Note Well, I'd think it is clear it would still apply. Side meetings might not be same thing, but other than "Luigi Iannone @TPT" (which I simply have no idea what it's about) all of them seem to me like they are likely to have discussions which may be "acting in order to influence the outcome of a discussion relating to the IETF Standards Process. " > So side meetings could be covered if they chose, but not by default. > > In any case, the premise for this thread seems a bit confused, since side meetings are by definition not subject to IETF control. I'm not 100% sure I understand what you mean by "IETF control" here -- if participants are "in any other way acting in order to influence the outcome of a discussion relating to the IETF Standards Process" the Note Well applies (at least according to my understanding). The Note Well isn't something which gets invoked by summoning it, it applies whenever I'm acting in a way which influences the discussions about a document, etc.; the Note Well slide doesn't invoke the protections, it *reminds* people of them. Much of the note well process also falls into the "don't be a jerk" category -- if we are sitting next to each other on a plane, and complaining about flight delays, even though we are not "acting in order to influence the outcome of a discussion relating to the IETF Standards Process" if I know of IPR which affects your draft, I'd be a jerk if I didn't tell you.... It feel to me like the IETF is drifting from a culture of "let's make protocols to make the Internet work better; 'tis good for all and also fun!" into a much more corporate / "how can I leverage this organization for my benefit" feel - yes, companies have always tried to optimize for themselves, but I'm talking more about the culture / "feeling" of the IETF. It feels to me[0] like we are moving from (to quote Spencer) "Do the right thing" to "the rules say I *can* do X, so X is fine to do..."

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf
