Hi Chris,
I have become confused between the permission necessary to republish the Tao,
and the request to republish under a Creative Commons license.
Can I try to clarify.
Do we or do we not grant permission for others to publish the Tao and the
translations of the Tao under section 3c of the TLP at
http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Trust-License-Policy.pdf ?
Thanks and sorry for dragging this on.
Adrian

Issue 1
We have recently been asked permission to republish the TAO with a
creative commons license, but according to counsel, the current trust
agreement
does not give the trustees the rights to do this.
- Without specific language being added to the trust agreement, we cannot
grant these types of requests.
- The current open request for a creative commons license from 6/18/2013
cannot be completed.
In term of "outgoing" rights the Independent Submission Stream is different
from the IETF Stream. The draft version of the Tao might offer a path
forward.
Would it be possible to have it submitted through the Independent Submission
Stream and use that version and changes to address the above request?
I haven't looked into the process stuff. It might be possible [1] to sort
that out
once the legal hurdles are settled.
SM,
I wanted to follow-up with this specific request and advise that based on
discussions with legal council and feedback from the Trustees that the current
rules don't allow granting permission to republish this using the Independent
Submission Stream, nor to grant a Community Commons license. At this time we
also do not have community consensus to prioritize a change to the rules in
order
to meet this request.
Thank you
Chris Griffiths
