I think you miss the point of "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."
That point is: this Note Well is not intended to reproduce the entirety of
BCP79.

For example, is a Bar BOF an IETF context?
What about a dinner among some attendees, on their own, during IETF week?
What about outside of IETF week?
What about a private email exchange by a couple of attendees, about an
IETF topic? Outside of IETF week?
And these really are questions for an attorney.
Sometimes, legal language that is ambiguous is helpful. This isn't one
of those times, since it needs to have clarity for average participants.
