Let's say I write to the IESG and say this:
Due to a late night editing error, draft-foo-bar-42 which I
submitted yesterday contains several paragraphs of company
confidential information which you can easily see are irrelevant to
the draft. My boss wants it taken down pronto, even though he
realizes that third parties may have made copies of it in the
meantime. I will probably lose my job if it stays up for more than a
few days. Thanks for your consideration.
Exactly. This sort of thing is wh a policy is needed, although I note in
passing that the folks at this hypothetical might want to read up on the
Streisand Effect.
Note that I phrased it as a polite request, not a threat.
And again, this is best developed with counsel.
A very emphatic +1 to this.
Sure, but keep in mind that it's one thing to minimize legal risk,
is not the same as minimizing cost or complexity, or doing what's best for
the IETF and the community.
