Re: RFC 2026 interpretation question

The 60 day difference can be used by anyone concerned to file protests over 
IP issues and this is VERY important since when the iParadigm matter comes 
back before the US Appellate Court (I bet Jorge is quaking already), it will 
set standards which will also apply directly to the IETF and its 'process of 
induced IP Theft' that this WG calls 'a contribution'.  The case is due for 
oral arguments in December of 2008 so you will have an answer on this pretty 
quickly.

I strongly suggest that the 60 day waiting period be kept in place since it 
allows for any number of oversight issues to be addressed in the publication 
of any IETF IP.
