• If you are aware that any IETF contribution is covered by patents or
patent applications that are owned or controlled by you or your
sponsor, you must disclose that fact, or not participate in the
discussion.
Is “not participate in the discussion” broad enough? Does it include humming,
show of hands, etc? Perhaps replace “participate in the discussion” with
“influence the decision processes regarding the contribution” or “participate
in the deliberations regarding the contribution”?
