Re: Proposed Update to Note Well

Hi,

having just gone through a similar exercise over on the IRTF side of things 
(see http://irtf.org/ipr), I wonder if what we came up with as a text couldn't 
be adapted to also work for the IETF:

> The IRTF follows the IETF Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) disclosure 
> rules. This is a summary of these rules as they relate to IRTF research group 
> discussions, mailing lists and Internet Drafts:
>
>       • If you include your own or your employer’s IPR in a contribution to 
> an IRTF research group, then you must file an IPR disclosure with the IETF.
>       • If you recognize your own or your employer’s IPR in someone else’s 
> contribution and you are participating in the discussions in the research 
> group relating to that contribution, then you must file an IPR disclosure 
> with the IETF. Even if you are not participating in the discussion, the 
> IRTFstill requests that you file an IPR disclosure with the IETF.
>       • Finally, the IRTF requests that you file an IPR disclosure with the 
> IETF if you recognize IPR owned by others in any IRTF contribution.
> You may file an IPR disclosure here: http://www.ietf.org/ipr/file-disclosure
>
> See RFC 3979 (BCP 79) for definitions of “IPR” and “contribution” and for the 
> detailed rules (substituting “IRTF” for “IETF”).
