This would >seem to fall well short of even the bare minimum of due diligence >disclosure to the working group. draft-burman-rtcweb-h264-proposal-00 is not listed as a working group document. I don't have a clear picture of the discussion about that draft. As such it is difficult to form an opinion about how BCP 79 applies. I was puzzled by the lack of IPR disclosures on any of the working group documents given that there has been several threads on the WG mailing list about patents. Regards, -sm
