Hi Adrian,

As editorship is a WG Chair decision, it is up to the SIEVE WG Chairs to comment on why Qian Sun is still listed on the front page as an author.

Some of the text of this document was provided by Qian Sun who violated IETF IPR
process by not disclosing related IPR that he had also authored and so is not
listed as a named author of this document.

The above text does not mention company affiliation.

There is the following in the text in IPR statements:

  "Note: The individual submitting this template represents and
   warrants that he or she is authorized by the Patent Holder to
   agree to the above-selected licensing declaration."

The name provided in the IPR statement is "Director of licensing".

The violation has a negative impact on the IETF (see comment from Dave Crocker on this thread). It raises questions which should not be asked.

Regards,
-sm
