Re: [nvo3] Suspected SPAM - Poll on progressing draft-ietf-nvo3-encap with missing IPR declaration

WG

Thanks to those who have responded to this poll. I think it is reasonable to go forward with option 1 and plan to request publication of the draft.

Please look out for the document shepherd’s review and write-up.

Regards

Matthew

Subject: Suspected SPAM - [nvo3] Poll on progressing draft-ietf-nvo3-encap with missing IPR declaration
NVo3 WG,

The chairs believe there is consensus to publish draft-ietf-nvo3-encap as an informational RFC. However, we are missing an IPR declaration from one of the co-authors listed in the Contributors section.

Despite repeated attempts to contact them over several weeks through multiple channels, we have not received an IPR declaration. It is incumbent upon us to ask every author and contributor to declare whether they are aware of any IPR that may be applicable to the draft. However, since we have not been unable to contact this one co-author, we would like the working group’s input on how to proceed by responding to this poll.

These are the potential options:


  1.  Remove the individual’s name from the list of contributors, moving it to the acknowledgements section, and then request publication of the draft.
  2.  Proceed with publication of the draft regardless, with no changes to the contributors list.
  3.  Do not publish the draft until we receive a response form the individual (which may be never).

Please respond to this poll by Friday 22nd July stating whether you support option (1), option (2) or option (3).

Best regards,

Matthew and Sam.
