IPR discussion: draft-ietf-tsvwg-rsvp-security-groupkeying

[Gorry Fairhurst <[e-mail]>]

The draft above is now in Last Call, and there needs to now be a 
discussion within TSVWG relating to the acceptability of the IPR terms 
for this document.

There is an IPR statement filed:
ID # 988 "Cisco's Statement about IPR claimed in 
draft-ietf-tsvwg-rsvp-security-groupkeying-01.txt"

This seems to provide RAND terms for compliance to a standard, but this 
I-D is not being submitted as a standards-track document. The terms in 
the IPR declaration do not seem to provide non-assert status for 
implementing an Informational document. Please can the WG discuss this?

* Specifically, do other options exist that would not introduce this IPR 
dependence?

* Have these options been explored?

* What does the WG recommend? (We can discuss this further in the WG 
meeting next week).

Best wishes,

Gorry Fairhurst
