Hi,
Section 1 (Definitions), subsection k says the following:
Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, acting as a working group chair or Area Director
constitutes "Participating" in all activities of the relevant
working group or area.
The AD of a large area may not get to read all individual I-Ds or all
email messages sent in all the WGs of the area. We may want to define
this a bit more explicitly.
Cheers,
Gonzalo

All,
RFC 3979 was published in 2005. Since then we’ve gathered a lot of
experience, and we’d like to update the RFC with that experience. This isn’t
a revolution of the IETF IPR approach, it is mostly about clarification,
better documentation, and recognising some other new RFCs and changes. But
the document itself has changed quite a lot and structured differently than
RFC 3979 was.
Some of the main issues (such as how to define participation) were discussed
in the IETF-87 meeting, but there are also a number of other changes in this
document. Please give this document a careful read, and let us know your
feedback.
I am starting a last call on this document today, but gave a longer last call
period to make sure everyone has enough time to comment after IETF-95 as
well. And thanks for the comments that some of you have already sent after
the document was published; we’ve observed them and will make them part of
the feedback from the Last Call.
The document is available here:
