And I would remove "on your behalf", as it a) adds to the word count, and
b) could be viewed as a requirement to fill in the section III of the
disclosure form--something that is neither common practice nor, IMO, overly
useful.
You're right on both counts. So (and addressing Randy's concern):
Anything that you write, say, or discuss in the IETF, formally or
informally, either at an IETF meeting or in another IETF venue
such as a mailing list, is an IETF contribution. If you believe
that any contribution of yours is covered by a patent or patent
application controlled by you or an organization with which you
are affiliated, you must disclose it or arrange for that
organization to disclose it.
