[MLS] draft-ietf-mls-protocol IPR disclosure statement

[Sean Turner <[e-mail]>]

Hi! As part of the shepherd write-up [0][1], the WG chairs will need to briefly explain discussions about the IPR disclosure on draft-ietf-mls-protocol [2]. I submitted a 3rd party disclosure, but there has been no on-list discussion to date. I will note the date of application submission date was 2019-02-05 and we had been meeting since 2018-03-02 [3]. There are really two options (1) work around it or (2) proceed.  If you have concerns about this IPR [2] and think the WG needs to exercise option (1), please respond to the list by 1 June 2022.  If you do not have concerns and are comfortable with the document proceeding to publication, no response is needed.
