Hi Warren, Paul, I just submit a v11 version removing that section. I was quite surprise as you were about this section. It seems like it came from an old template.

Please see https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/handling-ballot-positions/ <https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/handling-ballot-positions/> for some information on DISCUSS ballots.... Like Paul Wouters I find Section 9 ("Intellectual Property Considerations") troubling, but I'm sufficiently troubled that I feel it deserves a DISCUSS. I *think* that what the text says is compatible with what is in BCP79 / the copyright boilerplate, but: 1: IANAL and 2: if it's exactly the same, why is this section here? If it *not* the same, then I think that this requires some discussions with the IETF Trust / lawyers / etc... I strongly suggest removing it, or, if it is needed for some sort of corporate / legal reason that it be justified / explained. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you very much for writing this document. _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bess
