John-Luc said he is bound by confidentiality obligations from his

against this apparent conflict of interest, or is there?
Since disclosure is required
for anyone submitting documents or participating in IETF
discussions, a person who does not disclose IPR for this reason, or
any other reason, must not contribute to or participate in IETF
activities with respect to technologies that he or she reasonably and
personally knows to be Covered by IPR which he or she will not
disclose.
Precisely. The conflict Simon mentions was of course known to most of
the WG; that's one reason we have that clause.
