Hi, having just gone through a similar exercise over on the IRTF side of things (see http://irtf.org/ipr), I wonder if what we came up with as a text couldn't be adapted to also work for the IETF:
> The IRTF follows the IETF Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) disclosure > rules. This is a summary of these rules as they relate to IRTF research group > discussions, mailing lists and Internet Drafts: > > • If you include your own or your employer’s IPR in a contribution to > an IRTF research group, then you must file an IPR disclosure with the IETF. > • If you recognize your own or your employer’s IPR in someone else’s > contribution and you are participating in the discussions in the research > group relating to that contribution, then you must file an IPR disclosure > with the IETF. Even if you are not participating in the discussion, the > IRTFstill requests that you file an IPR disclosure with the IETF. > • Finally, the IRTF requests that you file an IPR disclosure with the > IETF if you recognize IPR owned by others in any IRTF contribution. > You may file an IPR disclosure here: http://www.ietf.org/ipr/file-disclosure > > See RFC 3979 (BCP 79) for definitions of “IPR” and “contribution” and for the > detailed rules (substituting “IRTF” for “IETF”).
