+1 for Peter's version.  Very concise and clear.  Thanks for doing that, Peter.

With all due respect, that sentence could be improved. I suggest:

  Anything that you write, say, or discuss in the IETF, formally or
informally,
  at an IETF meeting or in another IETF venue such as a mailing list,
is an
  IETF contribution. If you believe that a contribution of yours is
covered by
  a patent or a patent application made by you or your employer, you must
  disclose it.
