My original response inadvertently gloss over that point. My understanding
is the same as yours, Sam.
Cheers,

My understanding of copyright and the IETF note well is inconsistent
with Mr. Fuyou's description though.
In particular, typically ownership of the IETF contribution remains with
the contributor, although the IETF is granted a rather broad
non-exclusive license to
the contribution.
