I think it is sufficient the trust be able to operate under any set of

That won't be possible, given the current (and even the updated) IETF
Trust agreement.
The IETF may decide that third parties should be given rights to all
contributions, not only to RFCs/I-Ds.
Currently, the IETF Trust would be unable to comply to such a wish
from the IETF, because the Trust agreement prevent them from doing so.
explain please, I don't understand this.
Straw man?
To me, the new phrase "IETF
standards-related documents (such as RFCs, Internet Drafts and the
like)" clearly covers contributions to the standards process, i.e.
the same scope as RFC 3978. I don't see a problem here.
RFC 3978 define Contributions as:
c. "IETF Contribution": any submission to the IETF intended by the
Contributor for publication as all or part of an Internet-Draft or
RFC (except for RFC Editor Contributions described below) and any
statement made within the context of an IETF activity. Such
statements include oral statements in IETF sessions, as well as
written and electronic communications made at any time or place,
which are addressed to:
o the IETF plenary session,
o any IETF working group or portion thereof,
o the IESG, or any member thereof on behalf of the IESG,
o the IAB or any member thereof on behalf of the IAB,
o any IETF mailing list, including the IETF list itself, any
working group or design team list, or any other list
functioning under IETF auspices,
o the RFC Editor or the Internet-Drafts function (except for RFC
Editor Contributions described below).
That is considerably more than what even a lax interpretation of "IETF
standards-related documents" would mean.
So I do see a (minor) problem.
Thanks,
Simon
