Rather than a standing board (which was what I thought you had

the WG (presumably designated by the chair(s)), perhaps an IAB liason
-- and the IETF patent counsel.
I think you are putting words in Larry's mouth. In has past few messages, he
has indeed talked about what sounded like a standing board, one that sounded
like it would deal with issues from all WGs.
Larry, since you refuse to write a draft (and like to insult people who say
that one is needed), can you at least say whether Steve or I are closer to your
proposal?
