You can bring it up. However if the chairs are convinced we cannot
get anywhere they may decide to note your concern and move on.
If there is no consensus at a BOF, you have a strong argument to bring
up during the WG chartering process. I think that you could argue for
example that we should review IPR licenses before agreeing to charter
the work.
