A contribution by you consists of anything you write, say or discuss in any
IETF context. If you are aware that any contribution you make is covered by
a patent or a patent application, you are REQUIRED to disclose that fact
IMMEDIATELY.
I note that this is not the same language as is in BCP 79, which says:
" as soon as reasonably possible " instead of IMMEDIATELY. I don't
believe the NOTE WELL should disagree with the BCP on that point. If
this changes, it should change in the BCP first/simultaneously.
