To clarify this, I would propose deleting the phrase "reasonably and" in
Section 5.1.2.
I would object very strongly to this deletion. We have always said "reasonably
and
personally known" to make it clear that nobody is expected to go to unreasonable
lengths to discover the existence of IPR. For anyone who works for a large
company,
it is clearly unreasonable for them to be aware of all IPR owned by that
company,
and this phrase covers that case nicely, especially given that we all
participate
and contribute here as individuals, even if we happen to use a corporate email
address. This phrase has stood the test of time and should not be changed.

... Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, acting as a working
group chair or Area Director shall constitute "Participating" to the extent
such person engages in discussions or review of a Contribution as part of the
activities of their relevant working group or area.
That seems 100% redundant to me. How could anybody possibly interpret the roles
of WG Chair or AD as anything other than participating, at moments when they
are not contributing (which they often do)?
