Re: [Patient] the IETF participant choice

[Tony Rutkowski <[e-mail]>]

Hi Lars,

Whatever ETSI does will be fully compliant with IPR law.  I am also a 
lawyer and well aware of the IETF's assertions and complaints over the 
years.  The irony here is that TLS is actually an ITU-ISO standard.  
Perhaps we can all just collaborate here on urgently needed 
specifications rather than making threats.

ps. In the early 90s, as ISOC Executive Director, I also helped set up 
the IETF's own rather unique IPR arrangements because of its lack of 
legal existence, and effected the purchase of considerable liability 
insurance for IETF decision makers. Presumably that still exists. :-)

To the extent there are omissions or failings, the ETSI processes are entirely open and the work will evolve and institute corrections.
