WG Last Call reissuing: draft-ietf-rules-update-07

[Harald Alvestrand <harald at alvestrand.no>]

The one-week Last Call on draft-ietf-ipr-rules-update-07 ended on August 
4. This is a somewhat belated
summary of concerns raised.

In total, Simon Josefsson, Frank Ellermann, Brian Carpenter, Scott Brim, 
Bill Fenner, Jorge Contreras, John Klensin, Ted Hardie and Todd Glassey 
participated in the discussion.

- Simon Josefsson argued that the time given for review was much too short
- Simon Josefsson argued that the new section 3.3 did not permit the 
Trust to sublicense more rights than current practice; Jorge Contreras 
argued that the existing rights are exactly what this update aims to 
describe
- Simon Josefsson argued that the term "IETF Participant" is not 
defined; Jorge Contreras pointed at section 2.4 bullet 8.
- Simon Josefsson, Frank Ellermann and Brian Carpenter had a discussion 
about "IETF documents", "Contributions" and "RFC Editor contributions"
- John Klensin pointed out that if we were to substantially rely on the 
difference between documents that are part of the standards process and 
those that are not, we'd better start marking them properly; Jorge 
pointed out that he was only pointing out that documents can be part of 
the standards process whenever they're submitted to the IETF.
- Todd Glassey had a series of comments

I cannot draw a conclusion from this discussion. It is not clear to me 
that any substantive issues that can be resolved by changes to the 
document under discussion have been raised and remain a consensus 
concern for the WG.

Given that the discussion was inconclusive, and that the issue of the 
Trust update is of some urgency, I am reissuing a Last Call and am 
asking for a simple answer from all participants:

A - Go forward with draft-ietf-ipr-rules-update-07
B - Go forward with draft-ietf-ipr-ietf-trust-update-00
C - I refuse to support either option

Please send a note with one of those 3 answers to the list before 
Friday, August 18.

                     Harald, for the chairs
