Re: [rsvp-dir] Fwd: AD followup: draft-ietf-tsvwg-rsvp-security-groupkeying - IPR discussion

[Bob Briscoe <[e-mail]>]

Gorry,

I agree IPR on this was never discussed in tsvwg to my knowledge. The 
IPR declaration doesn't point to the specific IPR (which it doesn't 
have to), so we can only guess which of the approach(es) in the doc 
are encumbered.

I reviewed this one a couple of times. As you say it's informational; 
it is primarily a comparative guide. Given this implies there are no 
specific issues about normative statements, the only IPR issue would 
be if the guidance is *unjustifiably* tilted towards a particular 
approach (assuming that might be the patented approached).

When I reviewed it, I wasn't aware there was IPR on this one, so my 
"unjustified bias" detector wasn't turned up to max sensitivity. But 
in retrospect I'm very happy that all the guidance is technically 
sound. So I can't see there's any danger here.
