All,
In parallel to the WGLC for this draft, I want to formally ask the authors
(no additional contributors are listed in the latest version of the draft)
to please respond to this message indicating whether or not you are aware
of any relevant IPR. The draft will not progress (pending the results of
the WGLC) until we have received a response from each author.
In addition, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind the entire WG
that the duty of disclosure is NOT limited to authors:
(c) in order for the working group and the rest of the IETF to have
the information needed to make an informed decision about the use
of a particular technology, all those contributing to the working
group's discussions must disclose the existence of any IPR the
Contributor or other IETF participant believes Covers or may
ultimately Cover the technology under discussion. This applies
to both Contributors and other participants, and applies whether
they contribute in person, via email or by other means. The
requirement applies to all IPR of the participant, the
participant's employer, sponsor, or others represented by the
participants, that is reasonably and personally known to the
participant. No patent search is required.
RFC 3979 also points out disclosure must be "as soon as reasonably
possible":
The IPR disclosure required pursuant to section 6.1.1 must be made as
soon as reasonably possible after the Contribution is published in an
Internet Draft unless the required disclosure is already on file.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Jeff
