What Jorge said. You can discuss on the IPR list at 
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipr-wg

This is a healthy discussion.  However, if you really care about these issues 
(i.e., what constitutes "participation" in an IETF discussion for purposes of 
triggering an IPR disclosure) then debating it in the context of the "Note 
Well" language is, to put it mildly, a waste of time.  The actual "rules" 
that govern this issue are contained in BCP79, which is in the process of 
being revised right now.  This exact issue has been discussed repeatedly in 
the IPR WG and the rules in BCP79 are being amended *right now* to deal with 
concerns that were raised.  If you care and want to discuss in some way that 
may actually affect the IETF rules, rather than a non-substantive pointer to 
the rules (i.e., "Note Well"), please take a look at the latest I-D 
implementing these rules and comment on it:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bradner-rfc3979bis/

The relevant Sections are 1.c ("Contribution") and 1.k, which actually 
defines "Participating in an IETF Discussion or Activity".

Enjoy!

Jorge
