I agree with John here.  Giving up the ownership of I-Ds and RFCs (and
trademarks, domain names, mailing lists, ...) to an organization
without a binding agreement that it will do as the IETF community
wishes seem frivolous.

Could someone point me to the IETF Trust Agreement?  I can't seem to
locate it.  The recently approved draft-carpenter-bcp101-update-03.txt
only include a normative reference:

   [2]  "IETF Trust Agreement, http://www.ietf.org/TBD.txt";, Month-
        TBD 2005.

I wonder how the public was supposed to be able to review that
document when one of the normative references had not yet been
written.

Thanks,
Simon
