Dear PCErs,
I was quite reluctant to post, but I would like to raise the issue of
IPRs covering Internet Drafts, and more specifically, those under the
umbrella of the PCE wg
First, I am aware of RFC3979 "IP in IETF technology", which somehow
calls for a "timely disclosure". However, personally, I find it a bit
*surprising* to discover, after contributing to some drafts and after
several iterations/versions, that such drafts are covered by IPR.
As a co-author, I would appreciate such a warning -- event if the IPR is
"defensive" -- before I invest time on it, allowing, at least, an
informed decision.
Would it be possible to enforce a more satisfying (at least for yours
truly) policy regarding prompt / timely disclosure, even a preliminary
one? -- (if you ask me, I would like disclosures upon initial/individual
draft post)
Otherwise I feel somehow forced to ask directly whether a draft is
covered by (pending) IPR before reading/commenting/contributing
Thanks
R.
