Jay,



As stated in BCP 79

That was in BCP 78.  And section 4 makes that argument moot for Khaled, don't you agree?

At the top of his document, Khaled included:

   Internet Engineering Task Force
   Intended status: Standards Track

I don't see how it could be much clearer that it was submitted as a contribution to the IETF and therefore is subject to that line in BCP 78 and the IESG statement. A different boilerplate could have been used that didn't include those lines and could have added disclaimers to the copyright statement. But this is what the author included in the document.

And as Nick pointed out, this process was explained in response to Khaled's request 3 years ago. The rules haven't changed since then.
