RE: Violation of IETF process (was: Second Last Call: <draft-ietf-sieve-notify-sip-message-08.txt> (Sieve Notification Mechanism: SIP MESSAGE) to Proposed Standard)

All that is great.

Why is Qian Sun still listed on the front page as an author. Wouldn't it be more
appropriate to move the name to the Acknowledgements section where the text
could read...

Some of the text of this document was provided by Qian Sun who violated IETF IPR
process by not disclosing related IPR that he had also authored and so is not
listed as a named author of this document.

Correct, except let's call it an "Internet Draft" for precision's sake.

What this thread is actually about is a violation of IETF process
(BCP) or IETF policy (Failure to comply with patent disclosure
requirements is a violation of IETF policy, and the potential legal
consequences to companies are considerable).

For context:

   "Qian Sun is apparently no longer an active IETF participant, and his
    co-workers who are active IETF participants asked their company to
    disclose against the two documents as soon as they discovered what
    had happened. That's where were are now."
