Re: Comments on draft-ietf-ipr-outbound-rights-02.txt

Thank you for a number of very useful checks on wording.
A number of the issues you included in your comments are requests for change in the rough consensus as called by the chairs. Unlike the editorial matters, I can not choose to make those changes.

One item occurs a couple of times, and seems to me to be a bit confusing:

That's true, but not the entire story.  It is possible for the inbound

for the IETF to grant third parties rights that the IETF doesn't own
itself.

While we could write the inbound rights document that way, I was under the impression that the agreement was that inbound would deal with contributors granting rights to the IETF, and outbound would deal with the IETF granting rights to others. As such, I don't need to address a hypothetical more complex interaction between the two documents.
I would expect that the required boilerplate would be based on both documents.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
