Thank you Alissa.
Regards, Benoit
I did a little re-arranging so that all the text that references BCP 79 is now
in one paragraph, in charter-ietf-netvc-00-02. None of the meaning changed
though:
"The working group shall heed the preference stated in BCP 79: "In general, IETF
working groups prefer technologies with no known IPR claims or, for technologies with claims
against them, an offer of royalty-free licensing." In keeping with this BCP, the WG will
prefer algorithms or tools where there are verifiable reasons to believe they are available on
an RF basis. In developing the codec specification, the WG may consider information concerning
old prior art or the results of research indicating royalty-free availability of particular
techniques. Note that the preference stated in BCP 79 cannot guarantee that the working group
will produce an IPR unencumbered codec.”

COMMENT:

- I'm supportive of this effort, but it requires one improvement first.
Like most IESG members, I spent some time on:
In keeping with BCP 79, the WG will prefer algorithms or tools where
there are
verifiable reasons to believe they are available on an RF basis. In
developing
the codec specification, the WG may consider information concerning
old prior
art or the results of research indicating royalty-free availability
of
particular techniques.
Then I realized this text, further down:
The working group shall heed the preference stated in BCP 79: "In
general, IETF
working groups prefer technologies with no known IPR claims or, for
technologies
with claims against them, an offer of royalty-free licensing." This
preference
cannot guarantee that the working group will produce an IPR
unencumbered codec.
You should avoid these almost similar paragraphs and combine the text.
- Suggestion: Do you want to have a reference to OPUS in the charter,
basically telling: "we want the same success, but for video this time."
