Jorge has reviewed this text. He says that the current text and this
proposed text are both summaries. Both say that it is important to read the
BCP to get all of the details.
OK, good. On reflection my feeling is that we definitely need the introductory
paragraph stressing the disclosure requirement, but I remain bothered by taking
out all the details. I understand there is a problem of attention span,
but there are not really all that many words in the current version.

I don't much like the change in approach. I think it will be too easy

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?

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).
