All authors have a responsibility to maintain their contact info, otherwise it is easily argued that they abandoned their claims in that IP.Were it to be that simple. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way. There are lots of cases in the music industry and in the publishing industry where an author has simply disappeared, and yet copyright still exists. Unless the author can be located, a lot of works cannot be republished, because the copyright owner cannot be found to give permission.
You mean under new terms Clint? The IETF still has the rights to republish that work and derivatives under the original submission agreement and that right extends in perpetuity. The problem is that the Trust wants to convert this IP Library to something it can license for money, and this is contrary to all of the RFC2026 submissions.
