Hi folks,
I just discovered this recent, important IETF General Area group
on IPR issues within IETF Internet-Drafts and RFCs (to revise
the IPR section of RFC 2026 "Internet Standards Process - Rev 3").
The IPR WG charter is available at:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ipr-charter.html
The current IPR WG I-Ds are:
Intellectual Property Rights (ipr)
----------------------------------
"Guidelines for Working Groups on Intellectual Property Issues", Scott
Brim, 11-Jun-03, <draft-ietf-ipr-wg-guidelines-05.txt>
"Intellectual Property Rights in IETF Technology", Scott Bradner,
19-Jun-03, <draft-ietf-ipr-technology-rights-10.txt>
"IETF Rights in Contributions", Scott Bradner, 12-Jun-03,
<draft-ietf-ipr-submission-rights-06.txt>
"A Template for IETF Patent Disclosures and Licensing Declarations",
Valerie See, 17-Jun-03, <draft-ietf-ipr-template-05.txt>
All of the above are available at the IETF I-Ds repository:
ftp://ftp/ietf.org/internet-drafts/
Recommended reading for those concerned about IPR and the (work-in-
progress) PWG Process/2.0.
Cheers,
