This is just a nit, but I did get a question on it :
Since the acronym "TLP" is only used twice in the Trust Legal
Provisions document, the acronym will
not be used in that document and the term "Trust Legal Provisions"
will be spelled out each time.

Marshall

Hello;
We (the Trustees) have received feedback on the proposed changes to
the Trust Legal Provisions (TLP) and have agreed to take the
following actions. Since the original call went out on the 23rd of
June, the comment period is extended to the 23rd of July.
1. Reject lowering the TLP community review period to 14 days from
the current 30 day period. (2.e)
2. Retain the ability to include a short pointer to the BSD license
for Code Component legends (6.d)
3. Reference the BSD license as the 'Simplified BSD License' (4.c).
With this, the new language is
4. c. License. In addition to the licenses granted under
Section 3, unless one of the legends contained in
Section 6.c.i or 6.c.ii is included in an IETF Document
containing Code Components, such Code Components are
also licensed to each person who wishes to receive such a
license on the terms of the "Simplified BSD License",
as described below.
Also
The above BSD License is intended to be compatible with the
Simplified BSD License template published at
http://opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php .
4. Move the URL in Section 6b to follow IETF Trust’s Legal
Provisions Relating to IETF Documents as proposed
5. Provide a TLP mailing list for interested parties to provide
input regarding proposed policy changes before posting for community
review
6. Provide the rationale for proposed changes in the future, rather
than a summary listing of the changes
The rationale for the remaining summary of proposed changes will be
sent in a separate email.
We have not heard feedback on the remaining changes (see below) and
without additional comments those proposed changes will be
implemented. The full text can be found at
http://trustee.ietf.org/policyandprocedures.html
under Draft Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents (18 June
2009) (TLP). I would urge interested parties to read and comment by
the close of the comment period.

The IETF Trustees invite your comments on the proposed revisions to
the "Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents" (TLP) policy.
The proposed revisions are in rtf, pdf and doc formats and located
at: http://trustee.ietf.org/policyandprocedures.html under Draft
Policies and Procedures for IETF Documents.
This is a summary of the proposed revisions:
2.e -- the review period for TLP changes has been changed from 30
to 14 days, which is consistent with the last-call period for other
IETF documents
2.f -- this new language describes the conditions under which the
IETF Trust will assume licensing and copyright responsibility for
IAB, IRTF and Independent Stream submissions, should the managers
of those streams request that it do so.
4.a -- the URL for the list of Code Components has been updated
4.c -- clarifies that the BSD License may not be applied to Code
Components that come from IETF Documents as to which the
Contributor has prohibited the making of derivative works.
4.e -- this new section clarifies the legend requirements for Code
Components that are used in software under the BSD License. In
short, the user must include the full BSD License text or a shorter
pointer to it (which is set forth in Section 6.d)
6 -- the language regarding placement of legends on IETF Documents
has been clarified. Placement on the "first page" is no longer
required, and authority for placement of the legends is with the
RFC Editor and IESG.
6.a - the words "to IETF" have been removed, to enable submission
to IAB, IRFT and other streams.
6.b -- a new sentence has been added to the legend that must be
placed on all IETF Documents, pointing out the BSD License
requirements described in 4.e above and emphasizing that code in
IETF Documents comes without any warranty, as described in the BSD
License.
6.c -- some minor clean-up edits
6.d -- the BSD legend/pointer described in 4.e above
7.a -- correction of capitalization
Please accept this message as a formal request by the IETF Trustees
for your review and feedback on the proposed revision to the TLP
document. The comment period will end on July 20, 2009.
I expect the Trustees will decide on whether to adopt this revision
shortly after July 20, 2009.
Regards, and thanks in advance,
Marshall Eubanks
