That doesn't make sense.   The owner is the person who is named in the 
copyright.   If the copyright refers to the IETF trust, then the IETF trust 
is being called the owner.

Making sense is never a requirement where the law is concerned. 

RFC 5378 says in section 3.1 (Rights Granted in Contributions):

   The IETF Trust and the IETF must obtain the right to publish an IETF
   Contribution as an RFC or an Internet-Draft from the Contributors.

...

   The authors retain all other rights, but cannot withdraw the above
   rights from the IETF Trust and the IETF.
