Below is my personal attempt to summarize the outcome of this discussion. We believe that it is permissible under the current rules to include sections of text that others have contributed to the IETF standards process - even extensive sections of text, as in this case - in a new IETF contribution. However, we also believe that it is customary to at least acknowledge the source of any such copied material, or better, to reach out to inquire whether the original authors would like to be involved in a planned derivative of their original contribution. We discussed whether any additional process or tooling was needed, and concluded that such instances are rare enough that the delays and overheads associated with new measures would be counterproductive overall. Thanks, Lars
