RE: Change control

To be honest, I'm not even clear on what the issue is.

If an organization creates a BCP in its own context based on the experiences of 
its constituents, and then the IETF uses that material to inform its own BCP on 
the same subject, and reasonable permission and attribution are given, what 
constitutes "change control"?  The IETF controls its version, and the other 
organization controls its own.

For example, OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD.  Who now has change control?  Does 
that even mean anything?

Apart from copyright matters, I think the only problem arises when there's 
debate over whose version is the "official" one.  But that's a matter of the 
perception that exists outside of the two organizations.  Otherwise, aren't 
they merely two perspectives on the same subject matter, and that's that?
