"Again, under discussion. Clarifying text may not be the answer here -
we will publish an inventory of the data moved to the trust and will
update the FAQ with text clarifying the understanding of all the
parties regarding historical data that is stored in difficult to
retrieve formats. Note that anything currently available via IETF
servers (current or not) will be included in the transfer."
The concern is over "historical data" that may be stored in "difficult to
retrieve formats" by one of the Settlors, but is freely available
elsewhere. For example, expired Internet Drafts, meeting materials cached
on Google, etc. As it stands, the document only transfers the rights to
materials that are currently available to the settlors -- even if those
materials are available elsewhere.
It seems like the IPR Trust should have the ability to request the
transfer of rights to "historical data" without necessarily triggering the
retrieval process, if that historical data is already available.
