The ADs have been prodding us extra hard about IPR recently. :-) A relevant section from BCP 79: : 6.2.2. Timing of Disclosure Under Section 6.1.2 : : The IPR disclosure required pursuant to section 6.1.2 must be made as : soon as reasonably possible after the Contribution is published in an : Internet Draft or RFC, unless the required disclosure is already on : file. Participants who realize that the IPR will be or has been : incorporated into a submission to be published in an Internet Draft, : or is seriously being discussed in a working group, are strongly : encouraged to make at least a preliminary disclosure. That : disclosure should be made as soon after coming to the realization as : reasonably possible, not waiting until the document is actually : posted or ready for posting. Thus it's okay to just note on the mailing list that you're aware of IPR and that a formal declaration should be getting filed at some point in the future. -- Jeff
