John,
For the record, I am personally opposed to our taking that step and claiming/ demanding, for the IETF, complete ownership of anything that is suggested for the standards track or published as a standards-track RFC (two different possible rules). But I am even more opposed to incrementally granting more and more rights to the IETF (actually, presumably, IAOC and the Trust) to make reuse decisions that are not directly and obviously related to the IETF's standards process.
As I understand it, draft-ietf-ipr-rules-update doesn't ask for that; it asks for the right to pass on the right to make derivative works. The use case for that is when the IETF wants to hand a standard over to another SDO. Today, this requires the other SDO to go to all the original contrbutors for permissions.
Are you opposed to that?
Brian
