Re: Adminrest: created IPR

2.2.6 currently reads:

The right to use any intellectual property  rights created by any IASA-related 
or 
IETF  activity may not be withheld or limited in any  way by ISOC from the IETF.

You could simply append:

As a matter of principle the IAOC and IAD should ensure that any contracts 
for IASA clearly designate that any software, databases, and websites should 
be openly available, including open source for software and a machine-readable 
format for databases, whenever possible.

the new draft asks:

fwiw - my intention in the text that is now 2.2(6) was to cover the 
tools and data 

Subject to legal advice, that seems OK to me. But maybe we should make
a word or two to make the rights irrevocable.

I'm not sure if the current text clearly implies that tools created
for the IASA by a contractor, and data collected for the IASA by a
contractor shall be openly available.

And maybe a separate point, would it be desirable when we talk
about tools and data in particular, to specify that the IASA must
ensure that tools developed by a contractor for the IETF or IASA must
be open source, and that data collected by a contractor for the IETF
or IASA must be available in a documented machine-readable format?
Or is this to go into too much details...
