Re: IESG Considering a Revision to NOTE WELL

I don't much like the change in approach. I think it will be too easy
to brush off; the current approach has enough substance that people
who brush it off put themselves in a very weak position.

The old text was written with legal advice. What does counsel say
about the new proposal?

=== Proposed Revised NOTE WELL Text ===

Note Well

This summary is only meant to point you in the right direction, and
doesn't have all the nuances. The IETF's IPR Policy is set forth in
BCP 79; please read it carefully.

The brief summary:
  - By participating with the IETF, you agree to follow IETF processes.
  - If you are aware that a contribution of yours (something you write,
    say, or discuss in any IETF context) is covered by patents or patent
    applications, you need to disclose that fact.
  - You understand that meetings might be recorded, broadcast, and
   publicly archived.

For further information: Talk to a chair, ask an Area Director, or
review  BCP 9 (on the Internet Standards Process), BCP 25 (on the
Working Group processes), BCP 78 (on the IETF Trust), and BCP 79 (on
Intellectual Property Rights in the IETF).
