"Undergoing a ballot"? Is it possible these people believe that
they're stuffing a ballot box?
Shows they do not understand what an IETF last call is about.

draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07 is currently undergoing a ballot to become a
proposed standard, with the last call expiring on February 11.
Unfortunately,
this standard is encumbered by a patent owned by RedPhone Security. While
RedPhone has given a license to implementors of this protocol, they have
not done so for users, so anyone using this standard may face a patent suit.
The IETF should refrain from making this draft a proposed standard until the
patent threat is entirely removed, that is, until RedPhone gives all users
a royalty-free license.
