Re: Stupid question: How are "the rights to represent the Sponsor" as codified in BCP78 and BCP79...

We do not require that participants supply proof of their relationship with their sponsors, any more than we require documentation of who their sponsor (at any moment) is.

As far as I can tell.... 

I believe that is correct and intentional. If someone comes to the
IETF and makes contributions that their employer later objects to,
that is not the IETF's problem, because the IETF has the right to make
derivative works in any case.

As a corollary, people who change jobs need to make sure
that their old employer doesn't object to them continuing
to work on the same draft. That can get sticky, but it's still
not the IETF's problem, because the IETF has the right to make
derivative works in any case.

IANAL
