Is this discussion of IPR policy within the scope of this list's
discussion?
I look at :
http://www.irtf.org/asrg/
And read the posting guidelines which say all conversation must be
related to the work items at
http://www.irtf.org/asrg/asrg-work-items.txt
and there's nothing there about IPR. Perhaps IPR is a bigger issue to be
taken at higher levels.
Given that the IRTF does not have a formulated IPR policy, and that IPR
issues are potentially of significant concern to this RG due to the
participation of a number of folks from the commercial world, I don't have
a problem with productive discussion of IPR issues on the mailng list in
this context.
As one who has patent-pending on an anti-spam technology, I've got a lot
to say but won't if its inappropriate for this list.
If you are not willing to disclose where this potential IPR resides, then
Yes, I think it would be inappropriate to participate in discussions that
relate to it. If you're willing to disclose its existence, then I think
participating is okay.
