Re: RFC 5378 "contributions"

["Tom.Petch" <sisyphus at dial.pipex.com>]

Precisely; that is how the IETF works, gain rough consensus or your proposal
will not be accepted.  Having been not accepted in the IPR working group, I
see what I think is you (and others) trying to end run the WG's work and gain
rough consensus on the main list:-)

Underlying this, I believe that if only the IPR WG had not had to spend so
much time discussing and re-discussing and re-re-discussing ... this issue, then
may be, just may be, we would have had more time to focus
on the transition arrangements that we identified the need for in RFC5377 s.3.
In which case, this thread and all the other related ones would never have
occurred.

So, in all seriousness, I do see this re-raising of this issue, by you and
others, as impeding our ability to solve the problem that most needs solving,
that of
moving forward to a world where our Contributions do contain greater rights to
allow derivative works.  Which, ironically, is a prerequisite for what you want.
