For example, RFC 5378 itself has the following acknowledgement: The editors would like to acknowledge the help the IETF IPR Working Group provided during the development of the document. I take it you believe that this is an acceptable acknowledgement, even though it does not list any person by name? What level of contribution do you believe would require someone to be named individually? -Ekr
