Re: [mif] New Version Notification for draft-sgros-dhcp-and-ipr-claim-analysis-00.txt

Hi Stjepan,

While it is your prerogative to write a draft about anything you like, it is not the job of an IETF WG to determine the validity of any IPR claims that is made against a WG document.  The IPR claim exists, and it is up to each individual company to determine how/if any IPR claim does or does not apply to that company's implementation of any specification.  In this case, the IPR holder has only made an IPR claim against the MIF MPVD DHCP option document.

The first question for the MIF WG in this situation is whether we want to continue to work on the MPVD DHCP option given the IPR claim or not.  That question is the subject of a separate consensus call to the list (Subject: Consensus to drop MIF mpvd dhcp document), and any comment on that question should be made in that thread.
