Re: [Trustees] Last Call for Comments: Proposed work-around to the Pre-5378 Problem

2009-02-06 14:02:56
Ray,

NEW:

   iii. If a Contribution includes Pre-5378 Material and the
   Contributor is unable (for whatever reason) to obtain the
   necessary permissions to allow modifications of such Pre-5378
   Material to be made outside the IETF Standards Process:

The language suggests a tasking to obtain 5378 licenses from
contributors of pre-5378 material.  I think that is something we
want to avoid.  I think the following language obtains the same
results but with less stress on the participants.

I agree, but that might also be seen to be getting closer to
overruling what RFC 5378 says, something that I understand to be out
of scope.

iii. If a Contribution includes Pre-5378 Material for which the
    Contributor of the pre-5378 material has not or may not have
    granted the necessary permissions to the IETF Trust to allow
    modifications of such Pre-5378 Material to be made outside the
    IETF Standards Process:

IMO, this is improved wording I support it.

Thanks,
Thomas
