Please take Vivek Kapil off of your mailing list. He keeps receiving a large
amount of e-mails that he can no longer keep up with.

And if it becomes of "current interest to an IETF WG" after the
six month window? Or if it is of interest to a non IETF WG, e.g.
a legally oriented person doing IPR work? Can the IETF make
"non-valid" collections of drafts available for prior art searches
as an IETF function, esp. given the language in the boilerplate?
