Re: RFC 5378 "contributions"

I'm happy with the answer re. use of pre-5378 RFC material
on an IETF mailing list.

I'm not sure about the answer re. use in an Internet-Draft.
With respect to this, I think what Randy wanted to ask is:

Do we need to get contributor premission before using
material from an email posting made under pre-5378
Note Well in an Internet Draft with the full RFC 5378
boiler plate?

Regards,    Martin.

No, absolutely not.  Use of pre-5378 materials in the IETF standards process 
has never been an issue, only use outside the IETF is problematic (ie, allowed 
under 5378 but not the earlier rules).

Subject: RFC 5378 "contributions"

Hi -

I originally asked this question on the WG chairs' list, and
was asked to ask again here...

The discussion about RFC 5378 (what little I've been able to
understand of it, anyway) has focussed on I-Ds and RFCs.
However, the definition of "contribution" in that document
includes, among other things, mailing list discussions.

Does this mean that we need to get contributor permission
before using, for example, material from a pre-5378 RFC in
a mailing list discussion, or before including text from a
pre-5378 email posting in an internet draft?

This seems really silly, but that's what the discussion is
starting to sound like to me.

Randy
