While not really disagreeing with Leslie and Olaf, I would point out that the IPR WG was chartered to look at IETF documents. We can have a meta-discussion about where the clarifications belong, but it seems to me that the WG consensus definitely assumed that scope and no wider scope. I'd be happy

Ted, Firstly, it's not for me to prejudge the IESG's conclusions about IONs, but I would suggest that any ION issued by the IESG implicitly carries the same status as any other IESG statement, unless rescinded, so I don't quite share your concern. However, the deeper question is whether the "disc
