In general, not a bad approach. However, does a valid amendment include
the statement "this IPR declaration is now null and void, since the
technology did not make it into the targeted standard"? This would
resolve the issue of having IPR declarations just hanging out there, for
technology that never made it into a standard.

Subject: Re: Removal of IETF patent disclosures?
It seems like there is a lot of concern about removals, and
some concern about original publication of spam, drivel, and
duplicate notices. Here is a proposal for a way forward:
1) Original submissions to the IPR repository are moderated,
but only to prevent publication of spam and drivel. If the
moderator (who should probably be a NomCom-appointed person
such as the IETF chair or IAB chair) sees what appears to be
a duplicate notice, that person can ask the poster if they
really meant to publish the duplicate notice; if so, it gets
published.
2) Once published, a notice is never removed. A notice can,
however, later be amended. Amendments are attached to the
published notice.
3) All amendments that the moderator considers to come from
the original poster or from the likely owner of the IPR in
the posting are accepted.
4) Other amendments are moderated. The moderator should
(other than in cases of spam or drivel) either post a
relevant amendment or suggest to the amendment's proposer
that the proposer file a different IPR statement that
cross-references this on.
5) In case of dispute about posting an amendment, the
moderator should make his/her own amendment summarizing the dispute.
These are fairly easy to follow and give latitude to the moderator.
Concerns about censorship or incompetence on the part of the
moderator are dealt with fairly easily: the aggrieved party
can send mail to the IETF mailing list.
Thoughts?
