I suggest that we modify 5.1 and 5.3 as follows:
5.1:
<OLD>
5.1. General Policy
By submission of a Contribution, each person actually submitting the
Contribution, and each named co-Contributor, is deemed to have read
and understood the rules and requirements set forth in this document.
Each Contributor is deemed, by the act of submitting a Contribution,
to enter into a legally-binding agreement to comply with the terms
and conditions set forth in this document, on his or her own behalf
and on behalf of the organization the Contributor represents or is
sponsored by (if any), when submitting the Contribution.
deemed to have read
and understood the rules and requirements set forth in this document.
Each Contributor is deemed, by the act of submitting a Contribution,
to enter into a legally-binding agreement to comply with the terms
and conditions set forth in this document, on his or her own behalf
and on behalf of the organization the Contributor represents or is
sponsored by (if any), when submitting the Contribution.
The operation of the IETF
and the work conducted by its many participants is dependent on such
agreement by each Contributor, and each IETF participant expressly
relies on the agreement of each Contributor to the terms and
conditions set forth in this document.
<NEW>
5.1. General Policy
By submission of a Contribution, each person actually submitting the
Contribution, and each named co-Contributor, is deemed to have read
and understood the rules and requirements set forth in this document.
Each Contributor is deemed, by the act of submitting a Contribution,
to enter into a legally-binding agreement to comply with the terms
and conditions set forth in this document.
The Contributor is further deemed to have agreed that he/she has
obtained the necessary permissions to enter into such an agreement
from any party that the Contributor reasonably and personally knows
may have rights in the Contribution, including, but not limited
to, the Contributor's sponsor or employer.
No further
acknowledgement, signature or other action is required to bind a
Contributor to these terms and conditions. The operation of the IETF
and the work conducted by its many participants is dependent on such
agreement by each Contributor, and each IETF participant expressly
relies on the agreement of each Contributor to the terms and
conditions set forth in this document.
5.3:
<OLD>
To the extent that a Contribution or any portion thereof is protected
by copyright or other rights of authorship, the Contributor, and each
named co-Contributor, and the organization he or she represents or is
sponsored by (if any) grant a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, world-wide sublicensable right and license to the IETF
Trust under all such copyrights and other rights in the Contribution:
<NEW>
To the extent that a Contribution or any portion thereof is protected
by copyright or other rights of authorship, the Contributor, and each
named co-Contributor grant a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, world-wide sublicensable right and license to the IETF
Trust under all such copyrights and other rights in the Contribution:
That is - simply delete the reference to the sponsor here; the statement
under
"general policy" should be enough.
I believe this resolution is in accordance with the expressed wishes of
the WG to have the problem of getting permission to post be the
contributor's problem, not the IETF's.
Comments?
