Re: Last Call on draft-bradner-rfc3979bis-08.txt ("Intellectual Property

Trying to take this into a practical direction.

I think the current sentence in the draft is fairly broad, and doesn’t 
necessarily match practical capabilities that chairs or ADs have, as explained 
by Spencer and others. The issue is, if Spencer doesn’t read all documents on 
the other half of the area, or if Jari doesn’t read all the documents because 
he delegates some of the review task to a directorate, how would we know what 
to declare, even if we were personally aware of IPR on a topic? It may of 
course be that once we read a document later (such as in last call or as part 
of a final IESG review), you may finally realise that a declaration is 
necessary. But, as noted, not even that is necessarily always guaranteed.
