   I must admit to thinking we were moving away from all-inclusive language
here. As I read this, we'd be _asking_ the IASA to constantly increase the
scope of this responsibility as folks allege that new areas should be
considered "Intellectual Property Rights".

   I'm afraid I don't understand this reply.

   Clearly there are some things we _do_ want to hand over to IASA; but
a blanket redirection of everything the IPR WG (and others) have been
working on _to_ the IASA seems out of line with what has been discussed.

P.S: I'm prepared to live with whatever Jorge recommends; but I'd really
prefer to avoid open-ended reassignments.
