Copyright statements in drafts



Hi,

With all the work to get authors to start using the new draft boilerplate one question has been raised by one of my WG document editors which I couldn't answer.

The RFCs has a copyright statement directly after the status of this memo section, in addition to the complete statement in the back. Like in the recent published RFC 3783:

Network Working Group                                     M. Chadalapaka
Request for Comments: 3783                                    R. Elliott
Category: Informational                              Hewlett-Packard Co.
                                                                May 2004


Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) Command Ordering Considerations with iSCSI

Abstract
...


What about these first page copyright notice. Which of the following rules is the correct one for a internet draft?
- MUST have the statement
- MUST NOT have the statement
- MAY have the statement


A clarification on this would be beneficial. And it is probably a good thing to add this to the ID guidelines.

Thanks
