This is problematic because “IPR review” isn’t just a review – you’re
granting IP rights if you don’t make a declaration. This is exactly
why some companies don’t join some groups – so they aren’t interested
making IP grants or even disclosures for subject areas they don’t want
to participate in. And I don’t blame them … why do all that work for
no benefit to their company?

I naively thought that once an organization is being notified about a
possible IP conflict, they MUST review in order to claim possible IP
rights. Isn't this the process we follow at a specific WG level? What
happens if a Member neglects to review a Maintenance Guideline and later
finds out that they had IP rights that have made it into a Final Guideline?
Just curious :)
