Joel,
Note for clarification, and a suggestion for resolution.
The below "requirement" would be a change from what the WG is requesting. However, given the rules as we are writing them, the trust could make such a change. (The fact that I, and even John I suspect, consider that unlikely does not change the fact that it is legally possible.)
Therefore, as I understand this particular issue, what is needed is a statement in the inbound rights grant that the authors, as a condition of the inbound rights grant, will be granted the outbound rights to copy / extract from the RFC. II believe the authors do not need the rights to make changes to the RFC, just the rights to copy / extract.
I agree with this proposal.
Yes, that puts a tiny outbound constraint in inbound. So be it. The actual point (and I think it is a useful result of separating teh two documents) is that this constraint MUST be an inbound constraint in order to meet the SPARC conditions.
True, but we don't need to cite SPARC specifically.
Brian
Yours, Joel

In particular, there is almost nothing in the existing procedures, and nothing at all in the model contemplated by "outgoing" that would legally prevent the IETF Trust from charging an author a small fee for including an RFC on the author's web site or a fee for making a large, non-code, excerpt.
