Conclusion of the 60 day comment period on the October 2025 IPMC Proposed Amendments

On December 10, 2025, after reviewing community comments received, the Directors of the IETF Intellectual Property Management Corporation (IPMC) voted to adopt the bylaws amendments proposed in October 2025 and submitted to the community for the bylaws-mandated 60-day comment period[1].

These amended IPMC Bylaws are now in effect. 

The current IPMC Bylaws along with the complete history of the IETF IPMC Bylaws are available at:  
https://www.ietf-ipm.org/administration/bylaws/

The IETF IPMC Directors thank everyone who took the time to submit comments on the proposed amendments. In addition to supporting the proposed amendments, some commenters suggested bylaws changes above and beyond the proposal. The IETF IPMC directors intend to review and give consideration to the additional suggestions submitted. Please note that any resulting new proposed amendments themselves will be subject to a future 60-day comment process. 

The comments received are posted in the IETF TLP-INTEREST mailing archive[2].
