Yes.  There has been a request to remove an I-D.


That's an interesting but not very informative statement.

In the only case I am personally aware of, in 2006/7, there
was a dispute (outside the IETF), with lawyer's letters flying
around. Eventually, in a decision supported by the IETF Counsel,
not only was an I-D version taken down, but an *earlier* version
was put back with an artificially extended expiry date. No court
order was involved, and the eventual outcome was a private agreement
between the parties (outside the IETF).

I think the IESG needs to keep the flexibility to do that, although
in all normal circumstances the answer should be "we don't do that."
